How to Adjust the Steering Wheel on a Yamaha Golf Cart?

The main thing to do to adjust the steering wheel on a Yamaha golf cart is to check and realign the tie rods.

To do this adjustment yourself, follow these steps given below.

• Jack up the golf cart and ensure that the wheels are locked.
• The tie rod runs between the two front wheels and is connected to the steering shaft.
• You must turn the wheels manually to one side and then the other to check if the tie rods are locked in place and not loose.
• Move the tie rod and center it between the right and left wheels.
• After this, if the tie rod does not have any play and is perfectly seated, the loose steering wheel issue should have been solved.

There may be other reasons why you may have to make adjustments to the steering wheel on your Yamaha golf cart. This could include the bushings of the steering wheel. If the bushings are not fully tightened, there could be play in the steering wheel.

Lastly, the adjustment of the steering wheel on your Yamaha golf cart can involve examination of the rack and pinion arrangement on the steering shaft. It can wear out after prolonged use and become loose. You will have to replace the rack and pinion to ensure that you have the proper steering wheel movement.
