Default G16 Camber

I am struggling with the amount of camber on my G16 once I put larger tires on. It was lifted when I bought the project, but doesn't seem to have any way to adjust. I would assume if negative that it would be bushings, but can positive camber be the same?

Thanks for your input

I'm sure you've noticed the stock cart has no means of camber adjustment. Most of those lift kits really don't either. Some have a series of holes at the top that allow some macro adjustment, but really no "fine tuning". It's a golf cart. For those who care enough to have that kind of adjustability, it usually takes something like an A arm lift that has heim joints that can be threaded in or out to make that kind of adjustment.

I can see the camber adjustment holes clear and day in the photo above...they are the series of holes in the top of your a arm. You simply unbolt the lower end of the shock and move them down/out to adjust the camber. after that you have to correct the castor which will be effected by this. those will be corrected by lengthening the arm(s) coming off the pitman arm going to your steering knuckles.

Keep in mind the camber/ castor adjustment may change when theres actually people in the car so dont adjust it to be correct while unloaded or it will be wrong when your actually using it.

I believe the a arm lift kit I just installed specifically said to use the 2nd hole from the inside top hole with stock shocks.

You can see here I'm using the 2nd hole from the top on my cart.
