04 DS steering after a hit
I'm new here so bear with me. Another golf cart hit me in the front driver side wheel. Now to drive straight the steering wheel needs to be turned about 15 degrees to the right. Something got bent and I can't find out what. I did a good visual of the front end and don't see anything bent, cracked, or damaged. Measurements from rear wheel to front wheel as follows...
Steering wheel turned to right about 15 degrees is: Driver side ..65 1/2" Passenger side..65 3/8" Cart rides straight Steering wheel straight and centered (like it was before the hit) Driver side..65 1/8" Passenger side ..65 5/8" I did find a post regarding the bent bracket the rack is bolted to. My bracket looks good. Tried adjusting the front spring but that doesn't work. Anyone point me in the right direction here? Could the king pin have gotten bent? |

Re: 04 DS steering after a hit
There is only three (3) things that can come into play.
1- Bent tie rod assembly or spindle 2- Bent Shock Tower 3- The steering knuckle between the shaft and the box got knocked over a tooth. |
