Installation Overview:

This shock absorber is a direct replacement for your factory front shock. Safely lift and support the front of your G2 or G9, remove the old shock by unbolting the top and bottom mounting hardware, install the new shock using the existing mounting points, and torque fasteners to specification. Installation typically takes 15-30 minutes per shock. Basic hand tools required.

Note: Shocks should be replaced in pairs for balanced performance. We recommend inspecting all suspension components during installation and replacing worn bushings or hardware as needed on these vintage carts.

Signs You Need New Front Shocks:

• Excessive bouncing after hitting bumps
• Bottoming out on rough terrain
• Visible fluid leaks from shock body
• Uneven tire wear patterns
• Reduced handling stability and control
• Harsh, uncomfortable ride quality
• Clunking or rattling noises from front suspension

About Yamaha G2 & G9:

The Yamaha G2 (1985-1994) was the successor to the G1 and featured improved styling and performance. The G9 (1991-1994) was introduced as a gas-powered variant during the G2 era. Both models share many suspension components and are known for their durability and simple, reliable design. These vintage Yamaha carts remain popular among collectors and enthusiasts.

What's Included:

• 1x Front shock absorber assembly
• Ready to install (mounting hardware reuses factory bolts)

Pro Tip: Replace shocks in pairs (left and right) to maintain balanced suspension performance. When working on vintage G2/G9 carts, it's a good opportunity to inspect and service other suspension components, bushings, and mounting hardware that may have deteriorated over the years.
