Installation Instructions

Yamaha Golf Cart Steering Column

1. Remove the steering wheel from the old column (a puller may be necessary)

2. Remove the pitman arm from the steering box (a puller may be necessary)

3. Remove the four bolts that hold the steering box in the cart.

4. Remove the steering box from the cart.

Measure carefully. If these modifications are not done correctly the steering column will not fit.

5. Cut the outer housing (black) as shown in diagram 1

a. Cut the outer tube 2” from gearbox housing

b. Cut the outer housing only – DO NOT CUT INNER SHAFT

6. Cut the inner shaft as shown in diagram 1

a. Cut the shaft 3” from gearbox housing

7. Modify the shaft as sown in diagram 2

a. Grind a slot in the shaft ¼” wide x 1/8” deep

b. The centerline of the slot should be ½” from end of shaft and 2 ½” from gearbox housing.

8. Remove the coupler from the lower shaft of the new column.

9. Test fit the coupler for clearance. The pinch bolt needs to align with the slot in the shaft. Place a mark on the coupler and the shaft of the gearbox. You will use this mark to align the shaft and coupler when installing it in the cart so make sure it is visible.

10. Reinstall the coupler on the new steering column.

11. Reinstall the modified gearboxes into your cart – do not connect the pitman arm.

12. Install the 2” long black spacer over the modified tube on the gearbox. The spacer should fit flush against the outer housing of the gearbox.

13. Slide the steering column through opening in the dash.

14. Slide the clamp over the steering column tube.

15. The tooling hole should be facing towards the ground.

16. Turn the center shaft of the column so the coupler bolts can be seen though the tooling hole.

17. Turn the shaft of the gearbox so the slot will line up as clearance slot for the pinch bolt. The mark you placed on the shaft should be visible.

18. Align the marks on your coupler and gearbox then carefully slide the column down over the shaft of the gearbox. The outer housing of the new column should be flush against the outer housing of the gearbox.

19. Install pinch bolt through the coupler.

20. Pull the clamp down approximately ¼” below the tooling hole and tighten.

21. Align the gearbox and the steering column. Be sure that the steering column is centered while the road wheels are pointing forward. The gearbox must be centered as well. The stock gearbox is 4 ¼” turns lock to lock you will need to turn the shaft of the box 2 1/8 turns to be at center.

22. Install knobs, levers, wiring, steering wheel adaptor and steering wheel by following the instructions on the back of the column dress-up kit.
