Hi there. I'm not entirely sure I understand your question, but I have a feeling you're asking how many different types of front suspension Club Car has used over the years.
If that's the case, for the DS models, there are two main designs you'll find:
1. Single Leaf Spring with Spindles:
This is the classic setup found on almost all Club Car DS models from the early 1980s through 2003, which includes the entire 1986-1991 range this manual covers. It's a single, heavy-duty leaf spring that runs side-to-side across the front of the cart. It's simple and extremely durable.
2. Independent A-Arm Suspension:
This is a more modern, car-like setup that you'll find on newer Club Car models (like the Precedent) and on some late-model DS carts. It uses independent control arms and coil-over shocks for each front wheel, which gives a smoother ride.
If that's not what you were asking, our apologies! Please feel free to contact our support team here with some more details on the problem you're trying to solve, and we'll be happy to help you get pointed in the right direction.
