As far as size goes, you'll have to measure what you have on there. Take one off and take it down to your local auto parts store and use their thread gauges. Basically just match up what you have to what you're looking for at McMaster.... I get my heims at Speedway Motors, but they are all pretty much made the same. Get the highest quality heims you can afford. Don't get aluminum, get Chromoly.

Several years back when I was reading about Jake's front end heim joint replacements, a fellow posted this website...so I saved it.

This page just gets you to the $3.99 Heim Joint "Safety Washer". I dunno if that's needed or not....but you may wanna check out what they got:https://www.kartek.com/parts/heim-jo...-the-heim.html

And just to add to your tool box....if you don't already have these....pick up an American thread and a Metric thread gauge. Well worth the $10-each investment. I use these several times a year for stuff .....all kinds of stuff!! https://www.amazon.com/ChgImposs-Imp...a-795985503346

The heims from Jakes are

CM7 (7/16-20) used for the inner A-arms, 8 total
CM8 (1/2-20) used for the kind pins, 4 total

I just ordered mine and I ordered chromoly which are XMR7 and XMR8

This is for a 1996 EZGO TXT cart
