Re: Left front tire rubs on hard left turn
That's a very common problem. Most guys just make right turns.
I'm just kidding... Cart model/year? What is your setup? Lift? Offset wheels? Tires? |

Re: Left front tire rubs on hard left turn
I've got rebuilt/refurbed 2000 EZGO TXT, Jake's 5 " lift, 12" tempest wheels on 23 all terrain tires.
I was told that lowering the tire pressure might help, but can't see that working. Thought about a wheel slavery, but that won't work either. What can I do? |

Re: Left front tire rubs on hard left turn
You could add blocks on the rear of the front springs btwn the springs and body, you would have to pull up the floormat
and use longer bolts. I have used 1.5" square tubing about 2.5" long with a hole drilled in the end to accept the one bolt that goes through the spring. You would also have to reset your toe-in. |

That's suppose to be wheel spacer, not slavery.

Re: Left front tire rubs on hard left turn
Sounds like the tie rods may be out of adjustment. Turn the wheel all the way to the right. Now all the way to the left counting revolutions. When it stops come half way back. Are the wheels straight? Or close?

Re: Left front tire rubs on hard left turn
He's rubbing on the brake pedal and needs at least a 6" lift on front for 23" tires.

Re: Left front tire rubs on hard left turn
Hmmm. My 99 with a 4 inch lift is running 22s and no where near the brake pedal but who knows. I would still check the tie rods.

Quote:
have had the same trouble with that combination (when you hit the brakes on left turns) and my steering was centered, could depend on the condition of the springs and actual size of the tires. Also by the looks of his wheels he has plenty offset and spacers would really stick them out there, another thought he might try HD springs. |
