2003 Club Car DS front end bushings

[noserider]

All

My front end rubber bushings are gone completely on some of the parts. Is this pretty easy to replace and does the bushing kit come with a diagram and instructions on what goes where?

Thanks

Was that you who emailed me wanting a quote? I tried to reply but the email address I'm replying to is invalid. Please re-send with the correct "Reply to" address. If that wasn't you, disregard this please. The bushings don't come with instructions, but I can send you a PDF exploded diagram that will show you anything you need.

You're in good hands with Dave...do what the nice man says..

Do your self a favor, go around to the rear suspension, a close look will probably show some of the back ones are "gone" or failing also.

A "bag o' bushings" will make a dramatic difference in the ride and handling of your cart.

Ordered front and rear bushings from Dave.

If I may offer a hint.....

While you are waiting on the arrival of your parts, grab your Liquid Wrench spray (or equivalent) and give ALL of the bushing bolt/nut/sleeves a good shot or two over the next couple of days...... at least one will not co-operate and need to be "persuaded" to come off !!!

BTW, we LOVE to see pics !!!

Just saw your post Tex. I did spray the parts with a lube while I was waiting for the replacement bushings to arrive. No issues with disassembly. Assembly was a bit difficult thanks to those blue neoprene bushings. They were so tight pressing in the sleeve, I thought it was going to break my cheap vice. I was using a large pipe wrench to turn the vise! Got the front end put back together and went for a test ride last night. The results were worth it . Dave at Revolution Golf Carts came through with all the right stuff. Thanks Dave!

When I replace the bushings on the delta plate I picked up a 12 inch piece of all thread I think its 3/8 some fender washers just a little larger in dia of the bushing and nuts. I find it better to do that then the vise plus its a sit down job. just my 2cents
