Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will these fit my Club Car DS?
A: Yes — these front shocks fit all Club Car DS models from 1981 to 2011, both electric and gas. They replace part numbers 1014235, 1012183, and 1013164.
Q: How do I know if my shocks need replacement?
A: Signs of worn shocks include excessive bouncing after bumps, nose-diving during braking, uneven tire wear, and fluid leaks from the shock body. If your DS rides rough or wanders, it's time for new shocks.
Q: Are these gas-charged or hydraulic?
A: These are hydraulic shock absorbers designed to match OEM specifications for the Club Car DS platform. They provide consistent damping for both on-course and off-course driving.
Q: Is installation difficult?
A: Installation is straightforward with basic hand tools. Each shock is held by two bolts — one at the top mount and one at the lower control arm. Most DIYers complete both sides in under an hour.
Q: Do I need an alignment after replacing shocks?
A: While not strictly required, we recommend checking your front-end alignment after any suspension work. New shocks can slightly alter ride height, which may affect alignment.
