You will want to make a new tongue. With out it in the proper place the swing arm, (engine cradle), will swing up and down excessively. That will cause, or is a result of excessive axle/spring wrap.

Here are a couple pictures of mine from my 92 CC DS. The second picture I have the snubber on upside down so I don't lose it between now and when I make a new tongue.

Thanks, that's kind of what I was thinking. It's a gas carryall turf 2 so it's quite a bit longer wheelbase than a regular DS is, not sure if that makes any difference or not. But i'll look into making a new tongue, thanks for the pics :)

Glad I could help!

My cart is not lifted, it sounds like someone else with a similar problem has joined this thread......mine in normal height


I had a thought last night of maybe trying to cut it in half and put it on and then super glue and duct tape the 2 pieces together, rather than pay someone 35 $ to install it. it doesn't seem like that piece takes much abuse overall and i had no idea it was even missing until my cart guy told me last week

Sorry, Didn't mean to hijack :) Just a coincidence I had no idea it was called a snubber.

Fortunately I have a 2001 Carryall so the tongue just bolts onto the engine cradle. Takes less than 5 minutes to replace it. I wonder if you could make/buy a tongue like the later model CC's have. Then maybe you could cut off your OEM one and bolt it onto yours? Makes replacing the insulator 1000% easier lol.
