I recently had an owner drop his cart to be checked out for "noises". Found the spring eyes were cutting a groove in the 8" stock wheels. He declined the repair.

I had one brought to me once and the complaint was he thought " The front brakes are scrubbing. " ...... ? .... In his case there was nothing where front bushings should have been and the leaf springs on both sides were dragging on the inside of the rim. When I jacked the front end up both front wheels were flopping around like a fish out of water. It steered like a runaway wagon with a three legged mule. Had to replace all the front bushings, then also do the rear springs.
