Default Front Wheel Over Extending

Ok gurus… I have a 2012 Club Car Precedent with the Mad Jax 6” lift, 14x10 Mad Jax wheels, and the the ALPHA body kit. When I turn the wheel, if I go too far the wheel literally goes sideways and locks up. I have to physically pick up the front end of the cart and kick the wheel back into line…

Looking for ANY help I can get!

Check that the stops are intact and the stop arm contacts the stop that it is supposed to mate to.
If it is a spindle life I don't know.
I have had 2, 1 a GTW and the other a RHOX that I had to modify to stop.

Kinda doubt the madjax lift has any stops.
Usually this is from the camber setting being incorrect, or the tie rod adjustment is too far out and causing the wheel to push further to one side than to the other.
When setting up these lifts the heim joints at the top and bottom of the spindle have to be adjusted all the way IN to start with and then slowly adjust out from there 1/2 to 1 turn at a time to set the camber first.

Toe angle is then set after the camber is correct.
Make sure to start with an even number of threads on each tie rod. If you have more threads showing on one side than the other that side will try to turn farther and that can cause the binding you have.
