o.k. i been asked this question over and over. why do the front wheels on a yamaha tilt in at the top? and is there any way of straightening them out? last week we rented a yamaha out to a weekend camper. the guy was board, so he thought it would be good to do a front end a-line-ment. the call came in as, ''the wheel just fell off!'' i'm sure there was a little drinking going on the night before and they just thought they hit somthing.. crazy
Yamaha Toe In Problem

Thanks, but we are taking out the cutter and the welder. All the Yamaha's do it. I have a customer who hates it so much he's giving the ok to cut and straighten it out! any advise before we get started. I know about the coil overs, but the did not do the job either. Stock or lifted they all look broken going don the road.

If the springs are good and the toe is set correctly there won't be a camber issue with the Yamahas.
Well, see now I have to think about it. the coil overs are not cheap, we just in stalled new ones in the rear. I think he thinks it a better idea to cut and straighten. i have 20 g-22 that we use as rentals they all have the same look. / \ if I tell him to do coils and it does not fix the problem then what. I don't want to look like an ass. 
Cart repair sucks sometimes. lol
Cart repair sucks sometimes. lolHere's what I would do:
Put the front springs in, set the wheel alignment and charge the renter for the damage he caused.
Don't worry about looking like an azz. Think of it this way, if you cut and straighten a component and there's an accident where the company gets sued, that's when you will look like an azz.

I under stand. please,,, let me start over. my fleet of rental carts g-22 all have a look like this / \ please don't get me wrong i agree 100% with the shock replacement please understand. I lease them for 3 years and i'm not touching them. The cart in question is a 1998 Yamaha G-16 lifted. I think the owner of the cart just feels like they all do it. I asked for everyones input so I don't look like an ass. This is why I'm thankful for Cartoholics Golf Cart Forum. I posted this months ago but know that the season has closed the cart is sitting in my shop waiting to be worked on. Now I just have to sell him on it. This should blow his mind. But i feel your right and we are going with the coil over shocks. Fingers crossed. Thanks for all the input! 
I have the picture now, thanks for the explanation. 
On a 1998 cart, the springs have to be weak. I had a 1995 G-14 cart that I replaced the springs and it perked it right up. I'm not sure about the lift that's installed but if nothing else it will at least help your situation.
Good luck with the fix.
