How to Identify Parts for a Club Car Golf Cart
By Charlie Rainer Gaston
Club Car has manufactured golf cars and utility vehicles since 1958. The company's profile includes commercial utility vehicles, multi-passenger shuttle vehicles and rough-terrain and off-road utility vehicles. An environmentally friendly company, Club Car also manufactures Zero Emission Vehicles. With so many options, you'll want to know the standard parts of a Club Car golf cart before you make your purchase.
Instructions
Difficulty: Moderate
Identify the type and size of windshield that is used. The Club Car G&E 2004 model is equipped with a 37 3/8-inch x 34 5/8-inch flat windshield that attaches to the canopy. Grey and clear tint windshields are available as well as hinged and flat windshields. Hinged windshields have the same measurements as flat windshields. Look for how the windshield is attached to identify which type of windshield is used.
Identify the type and size of tires that are used. Some Club Car golf carts are equipped with Carlisle Sawtooth tires that can be mounted on white or silver rims. These and other low-speed tires are 4-ply and generally measure 18 x 8 1/2 inches. Standard tire size is 8 inches in height.
Identify the front seat, rear seat and cargo box. If attached, cargo boxes are mounted to the rear seat of the Club Car golf cart. Push the rear seat down to a flat position and attach the cargo box. Some cargo boxes are mounted with straps, while others require bolts. The front seat is located near the steering wheel, gas and brake pedals.
Locate the roll bars. Roll bars are used by the driver and passenger(s) when the vehicle is in use to maintain balance. Locate the roll bars on the left and right side of the front and rear seats. Grip the roll bar when traveling on especially bumpy terrain.
Locate the front bumper at the front of the Club Car. Front bumpers can be made of black stainless steel as well as polished stainless steel. The rear bumper is generally smaller than the front bumper. Front and rear bumpers are used to protect the lights and body of your golf cart from damage while driving. Make sure the front and rear bumpers match in design and material.
