Default Front tire bowed/tilted badly. Almost turned sideways.

Hello. New here and to golf cart ownership. We have a 2014 Club Car Predecent. It has a 3 inch GTW lift. For some reason the front tires are badly tilted inward. Especially the driver side tire. When turning the tire almost goes completely sideways. See pictures. It is undriveable. Any fix or ideas why it is doing this so badly. Could it be the lift? Or maybe the steering rack. Any help would be great. I am new to golf carts but I am sure I could fix it if I knew exactly what is causing the issue.

I’m sure it will be obvious once you jack it up and look underneath. Get the tire off the ground and grab it with your hands and move it to see where the slop is

You’ve got a linkage issue. Your GTW lift isn’t the best of quality, and I would bet that your upper knuckle or lower knuckle are busted off. Cars and trucks look the same way when their ball joints fail and bust.

Jack it up. You will immediately see something broken. There are two Allen head bolts that hold the spindle in place. One of these connections is busted.

Hello, it is useful if you post a follow-up to say if the advice given was helpful or not.

If you have simply been away for a few days then forgive me for the comment but sometimes we get a person who has never posted before saying something derogatory about a product just to bad mouth it, and then never posting again.
