How to Install Golf Cart Lift Kit | Club Car Precedent

2016/7/19 16:17:06

Installing a golf cart lift kit can be a difficult job if it is your first time attempting such a task. Before you install your lift kit make sure you do your research and try to purchase an American made lift kit. American made lift kits are typically made of stronger steel, factory tested and replacement parts are easy to find. If you purchase a foreign made lift kit, they are not put through the same stringent testing and replacement parts are almost impossible to find. Therefore, if a part fails you may need to purchase a complete new lift kit.

If you want to save some money and have a few basic tools you will have no problem installing your new lift kit on your golf cart. The completion time to fully install and test your lift kit may be between 3-5 hours depending on your skill level.

Instructions

Front Lift Installation
*Raise the front of the golf cart with a jack and place jack stands on each side of the front end.
*Use a socket to loosen loosed the lug nuts on the front end and remove the both front wheels.
*Loosen and remove the tie rods.
*Use a socket to loosen bolts on factory spindles and remove the factory spindles.
*Install the new spindles and replace the tie rods and wheel hubs in the same place they were removed from.
*Be sure to relubricate all joints to avoid squeeks after installed.
*Adjust the wheel alignment as instructed by golf cart lift kit instructions.

Rear Lift Installation
*Raise the rear end of the golf cart with a jack and use the jack stands to support the rear end.
*Remove bolts on the bottom of the shocks where they attach to the axle.
*Remove the ground straps from starter if it is gas.
*Use the jack to support the axle and remove U-bolts on one side of the

golf cart that were installed by the factory. Remove the leaf spring.
