Default Handling problems

Hello Everyone,

I have a 2000 Ezgo the was custom built by Atlantic Golf cars in Virgina Beach, VA. From the day I picked it up it has had handling problems. When I get up to full speed 28MPH the cart is all over the road the steering wheel jurks back and forth. I upgrade the fron t spring the heavy duty ones and it did not help. Can anyone tell me how to trobleshoot this problem. The cart is not lifted, Has low profile tires,


Les

Likely worn steering, if you have slop in the wheel it will be exaggerated at high speed.

Check front end toe in adjustment = should be about 1/4 toe-in in the front

Toe in.=\ / Toe out. = / \


This is looking at your front wheels. The wheels should look in just a little as stated 1/4" or so depending on what width tires you have.
