1993 marathon front axle
It might be a dumb question, but Is the front axle supposed to be completely straight, or does it have a bit of a bend inward on each side of the spindle. I'm trying to figure out if it's messed up or not. Thanks

Re: 1993 marathon front axle
Must of been a real dumb question, My build is coming along, I built the ez go marathon almost from the ground up. I haven't had this model before. I started with rotted battery trays, GONE. No batterys', no controller. a bad motor. I built a sub frame for the batterys', installed them in tight. and centered them under the seat. Installed a 1204 controller, on the left side , moved the direction switch out of the way of the batterys'. Did a mod to a forklift accelerator pedal by comesys brand . put a bypass ms1 and contactor in. rebuilt the motor. Re did the brake cables. got it running great, and it steers crappy on the street at high speed. I pulled the plastic cover off the front thinking I would do a front alignment. It looks to me like the axle is bent on each side a few degrees toward the rear . like they may have crashed it, I don't know. That's why I'm asking. I don't have another marathon around to look at to see if that is the way they are or what. I'm considering building a new drop axle . I don't want to mock it up from possibly a bent axle. Thanks

Re: 1993 marathon front axle
Yes ! thank you :) My axle bends inward on both sides a few inches in from the spindle welds ( a few degrees) That's got to be the reason it handles like crap, The last owner probably tried to re align it. Cool that's what i thought.
