Front end rough, noisy, loose. Bushings, shocks?? Help
I have a 2009 g29. The previous owners did not take care of it and were rough on it. Ever since I have had it my cart it has never handled bumps well. It make a noise when hitting bumps, and handles them roughly. My steering also is a little loose and always has been.
I had to change both front bearing when I got the cart, so it’s not those. I checked the shocks and they appear good. I don’t see any leakage or anything. Any idea what it could be? My next step is either to replace the king pin bushings, replace the front shocks, or a arm bushing. I’ve also tried multiple sets of tires to no avail. I can’t find any videos or anything how to even replace the bushings Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Probably worn out front shocks. They will bind up, be rough on the bumps, and make banging noise when they do move.

So you say go shocks before bushings and what not. Anyway that I could test if it’s the king pin or a arm bushings
Also are the front shocks hard to replace? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Front shocks are super easy, 3 bolts. One being the kingpin bolt. As far as other testing, yeah, jack it up and wiggle test....

Update. I replaced the shocks with some aftermarket from rocky top carts. It didn’t seem to help much. I now have some kind of low sounding popping going on when I go over bumps...any ideas Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Do the bushings.... the wear out especially on lifted carts. I put a 6” lift on mine and kept readjusting the alignment. Noticed upon close inspection some we completely gone. As I changed out all front end bushings... added some moly lube... what a difference..and no alignment issues anymore... plus they are cheap in comparison. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

I have eliminated that it’s not coming from:
1. Tires - tried multiple set and sizes. 2. Shocks - installed brand new 3. What’s next?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

10-4. I took the king pin out while installing the shocks and I didn’t notice any rubber bushing with the king pin area? I guess my next phase would be to take the a arm off and inspect it’s 3 bushings. Wish I could find a whole used a arm assembly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
