FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING
Read section A and B completely prior to operation or repair of golf car
C-6
After the springs are replaced, the axle will need to be aligned to frame. Unless the axle has been
replaced, wheel alignment will not be affected. However, it is always good practice to check
wheel alignment any time the front-end components are replaced or adjusted.
When front springs are replaced, the front axle must be aligned to the frame. The distance from the
center bolt at rear of left spring to the center bolt at front of right spring must be the same as the distance
from the center bolt at rear of right spring to the center bolt at front of left spring (Ref Fig. C3). Tighten the
spring leaf component to 65-75ft lb (90-100 N.m).
Replace the front wheels as stated in WHEELS AND TIRES section.
