The stock front suspension of a Precedent cart features a leaf spring on the bottom and a delta shock tower assembly on the top. This setup acts as an upper and lower control arm system without the complexity of coil-over shocks, struts, or double wishbone types of suspension. The rear suspension is technically semi-independent since the axle, transmission, and engine are all connected together and are held in place only by leaf springs and shocks. The front of the drive train assembly is not fixed, rather if floats and is free to move in any way necessary. Club Car is now the only manufacturer to utilize leaf springs for both the front and rear suspensions on their golf carts for sale.

Other manufacturers use plastic and fiberglass for their golf cart bodies, but Club Car construct front and rear panels out of a material called ArmorFlex. ArmorFlex is thicker, but stiffer than the traditional materials and results in a smoother, higher quality finish. Many owners have noticed that the panels break, rather than bend, when hit in certain ways, but ArmorFlex panels often withstand prolonged abuse before breaking.
