Automotive shocks on yamaha golf cart
I have seen where people have put automotive shocks on golf carts. Some have used Monroe Shocks.
I am lifting my cart 5". Does anyone know what Monroe shock or other shock will fit on my cart with the lift? |

Re: Automotive shocks on yamaha golf cart
here is the Monroe shock length and mounting pdf . most Monroe numbers are the same as O'Reilly Auto parts number. that way you can cross reference to car make on there website

Re: Automotive shocks on yamaha golf cart
The only issue is that Yamahas use Coil-Overs,you need to find a coil-over shock,standard auto-shocks won't work.The coil holds the cart up,the shock just smoothes the ride.Ez-Gos and Club-Cars have Leaf-Springs,thats why they use car-shocks.Hope this helps.

Re: Automotive shocks on yamaha golf cart
Great info. Thanks everyone.
So if the is lift kit is 5 inches tall then the shocks need to be 5 inches longer correct?? So would they need to be 5 inches longer when not mounted on the cart or 5 inches in taller when mounted and the weight is on it. What is the best shock to go with that can fit a 5inch lift perfect? Also shock mount extenders, if the lift is 5 inches tall then the shock mount extenders are 5 inches longer? |

Re: Automotive shocks on yamaha golf cart
my 6 " lift for my CC came with steel plates to use the original shocks.
