Barry explains the basics of adjusting the tow in on a Club Car Precedent golf cart. As you can see from the tires on this cart, the tow and camber has been running on the side of the passenger side tire. With proper tow adjustment your cart should ride smoother, handle better, and reduce unwanted wear on your tires.

Thank you Barry. I purchased a replacement steering wheel for my 2011 Club Car Precedent to replace a custom wheel with 5 bolts. The new wheel required a new adapter to fit the 6 bolt pattern. Despite the steering wheel being perfectly straight with the old adapter, the new adapter moved the new wheel to about 1 o'clock. Because the adapter fits on to a hexagon fitting, I could not simply loosen the wheel and align. Using knowledge from your video, I loosened the jam nuts and adjusted tie rods to allow the steering wheel to come straight. Took about 6 adjustments with little rides to get it right. I thought my cart ran true before, now - thanks to you - it really runs true.

Thanks, Barry. I've watched a lot of DIY on RU-vid for various projects and most seem to take about 15 minutes to show a 3 minute project. It's refreshing to see someone getting to it and not spending too much time. Not I just have to get my wrenches out and fix the toe on my golf cart!

Hi Barry, thanks for this video. I was hesitant at first to tow in my 2013 Precedent, but after doing it, I felt accomplished and proud of myself. Why I started to adjust alignment was the buggy was pulling to one side, and after learning about tow in and out from your video, I fixed the problem and now she runs true.

Great video series Barry. I've learned a lot about working on my new cart. Question - I'm replacing both tie rod ends on my EZGO and when twisting them off, I counted the turns. One side was 14 and change, and the other not quite 13, so I'm just going to realign as they seem to be off. Should the turns be equal and do you measure the rear for comparison, the same as you showed from the front?

Thanks for this video and all of your others! Quick question: I just did my alignment, but noticed while breaking the jam nut loose or tightening it, the tie rod end twists as well. Not normal right? :) I have a '10 Precedent with a 6" A-Arm RHOX lift. Time to replace the ends?

Thank you Barry for yet another great free video to help all of us DIY'rs keep our carts running the way they should. I love your videos as they are always complete and full of the info needed to accomplish the task at hand. Please keep up the great videos. Do you have one showing how to test Club Car DS 48 volt motor with a 12 volt battery to see if the motor runs? TIA

Hi Barry - I have a 2015 Club Car. Using a framing square, I have a positive camber on the front left wheel (about 3/8 to 1/2) and a perfectly neutral camber on the front right wheel (Perfect 90 degree) I've installed a new front leaf spring, but can't fix the camber differences. Is there an adjustment I can make?) Eternally grateful for any recommendation you have - thank you

My front tires definitely need adjusting and I tried to do it myself but couldn't loosen the nut on the passenger side. What would make the tires get out of adjustment? How would I know if the front bushings need replacing?

I have a 2017 precedent and the right tire worn down completely left not as much. Is this from the toe in? Last time in the shop they said they adjusted it. Also if I buy new tires, can an auto store mount them?

Good morning Barry, I hope you are still checking questions on here even though it is 8 years old. I have a cart where the front tires look kind of like an upside down V. Would using this "toe-in" adjustment be the correct way to fix this? Respectfully, Myk

I'm in Australia.....own a 2017 Club Car Precedent....it seems to drift on the fairways....is it due to the front track being narrower than the rear....or could it be a wheel alignment or tyre pressure.....I'd be interested to read your reply.......Thanks Rick
@diygolfcart
@diygolfcart 4 года назад
It could really be any of the mentioned issues. If the Toe In is too far in or out, it can cause the golf car to drift from one side to another. Having lower air pressure in one tire can also assist in the car drifting or pulling to one side. Another thing to look at is the bearings in the front wheel hubs and the front tie rod joints. If either are worn out, that too could cause the car to drift. Hope this helps and thanks for watching! Don't forget to subscribe!

This is probably a shot in the dark for any kind of response because of how old this video is, but I have a 2010 club car precedent that is measuring 58.5 in back and, after making adjustments, 56 in front. How is it possible to have such a large difference? Everything is stock.

Any time that you work on the front end of a golf car or car, the toe end and possibly the camber must be adjusted or corrected..

Barry I have one wheel that is towed out and the other straight. Everything is tight in the steering. I'm not sure if something may be broken that has caused the tire to do this. Do you have any suggestions?
@diygolfcart
@diygolfcart 9 лет назад
Angela Pearce Look around and see if you notice anything bent or twisted. If not, See if you can adjust the Tie Rod to align the Toe End.

I have the same issue with my club car. Nothing bent or twisted. Driver side wheel toed way out. Passenger wheel straight. Is it ok to just adjust the one wheel to align with the straight wheel?

Great video. I was wondering how well do golf carts in general tow small trailers? Like say a small boat trailer.
@diygolfcart
@diygolfcart 9 лет назад
They make great tow vehicles although you might want to do some upgrading first. GAS CARTS - install a Performance Spring to increase Torque Value. ELECTRIC CARTS - Upgrade electrical System for Torque. This can be a little more costly but in the end, you'l have a pulling machine. Check out the Pawpaws Tree Climber video's for inspiration.
@Lanninglongarmmowing
@Lanninglongarmmowing 9 лет назад
Thanks for the reply. It would probably be a gas cart. I will have to watch that video.

Love2boat92 Go to DIY Golf Cart Garage Channel, it's the Camo EZGO TXT. It's a 36 Volt plain golf cart to begin with and a Camo Monster when I finish! Gas Golf Carts are cheaper to turn into Towing Vehicles.

So how do you adjust the steering wheel when it's off center not level...
@diygolfcart

Take the score pad off the steering wheel, remove the steering nut, pull steering wheel off column, reset at correct position and reinstall nut, steering wheel and score pad.

@diygolfcart
@diygolfcart 4 года назад
Slightly loosen the 4 bolts holding the front leaf spring in place, then loosen the nut in the center of the leaf spring and turn the bolt (offset head) till the camber is correct. Tighten everything back down tight.

barry, when i turn sharp to the right it feels like the tire is going to come off the rim. could that mean the rt tire is tow in. It only does that on the rt tire side.(tire when facing front of cart) it feels really loose. When I check the tow it is within 1/4" but when the steering wheel is properly placed both tires seem to point to driver side out.
@diygolfcart
@diygolfcart 9 лет назад
The air pressure could be the culprit. I'd jack the front of the golf cart up, put it on jack stands (safety) and try to move parts around to check for excessive wear on items such as Ball Joints or Bearings also.

Funny how nobody will show the actual measuring of the rear of the tires during this procedure. The cart frame is just low enough that it won't allow for a level measurement.

I try to keep the front tires Toed In around 1/8in. I've learned over the years that as the golf cart advances forward that the toe in will arrive at 0 making as perfect alignment as one can expect. Thanks for watching!! Don't forget to subscribe!!
