After installing this lift, the front wheels must be properly aligned. Failure to properly align the front
wheels may result in decreased ability to control the golf cart which may result in a rollover or crash.
IMPORTANT: Camber and toe must be adjusted for proper operation.
CAMBER ADJUSTMENT
TOE ADJUSTMENT
To adjust for proper camber, use a framing square
or level to verify the tire is resting at a 90° angle
to the ground. Lift front of cart with a oor jack.
First adjustment will be at the lower A-Arm (A).
Using a adjustable wrench, adjust the lower heim
joint in or out as needed to achieve proper 90°.
If further adjustment is still needed, remove the
front tire and temporarily remove the spindle bolt
(B) to free heim joint. Loosen heim joint nut with
a adjustable wrench and screw in/out heim joint
as needed.
Re-tighten nut, reattach spindle, and front tire.
Check camber again, if further adjustment is
needed, repeat process above.
Ensure tires are pointing as straight as possible
and steering wheel is in the centered position.
First, nd a common point to measure from on
the inside front and inside rear of tires. You will
need to adjust the steering arms until the front
measurement is 1/4” greater than the rear
measurement. Tires should toe OUT in the front.
To adjust steering rack, loosen nut on tie rod end
(C) with a 17mm wrench and adjust tires in or out
using a 12mm wrench on the steering rack (D).
Tighten nut on tie rod end
