Default ezgo txt

my cart leans to the left some. I do have an extra 12v battery in the compartment on the left side but I don't think this is causing that. Cart has a spindle lift on it. It doesn't appear that the frame is leaning. Just the body. Could this be the shocks in front need replacing? Ill post some pics in the morning..

Shocks don't change height, springs do.
(Air shocks and spring-over types excluded. )

Are you sure about the frame not leaning?
I may be wrong, but isn't the frame lifted along with the body?
(If the body is leaning and the frame isn't, the body isn't attached to the frame properly.)

-----
The 12V battery is a contributing factor, but the driver side springs have more weight on them more of the time, so they weaken faster than the passenger side springs. I have a similar problem, so if I ever happen to disconnect the rear axle from the rear springs, I'm going to switch the driver and passenger side springs. Same in front, if I ever dig into that area.

I could be wrong. It's happened before just like I should have put a better description for the title of this thread.
First picture is the cart from the front.
Second is a picture of where the shocks mount. Should they be bent like that? I had a buddy they didn't know the power of the cart and he stood it up and slammed down hard on the front tires. Causing that dent in the steering mechanism there.

Phone won't let me post them right. Or I just don't know how to operate it.

Ouch!!!!!

The stud on bottom of shock is bent.
The top of shock mounting bracket might be folded over more than it ought to be.
The drivers side drop axle might be bent also. (Could just be lights and shadows in picture)
