Do you need to repair or service your golf cart? If so then you will need golf cart parts for your E-Z-Go, Club Car or Yamaha cart. No matter how well its looked after at some point in its life you will need to buy a spare part for your cart.

Golf carts are built from hundreds of different parts, many of which can be damaged during driving and others that need to be replaced from time to time. Most cart parts can be replaced by new ones that are sourced from online cart shop websites or auction sites like eBay.
Golf Cart Body Parts
Golf cart bodies are usually made from glass fiber which is resistant to small bumps and scrapes but can crack when the cart is driven into hard objects such as trees or walls. All of the body panels can be unbolted from a cart easily and replacement panels fitted within an hour or two. You can even buy complete body kits that look like a classic car for a custom look for your cart.
Gas Cart Engine Parts
Just like an auto engine a golf cart engine has many moving parts that need to be kept in good working order for the engine to work at its best. Poorly running engines will not start properly and may not produce enough power to drive when fully loaded. A regular servicing schedule must be followed if you gas cart engine is to last a long time.
Engine and fuel system parts such as air filters, spark plugs, oil and fuel filters should be inspected at regular intervals and replaced if necessary. These “consumable” golf cart parts are cheap to buy and should be quite easy to find online for any particular model of gas cart.
Electric Cart Parts
Electric golf carts have less moving parts than their gas powered equivalents, but as there is electricity involved the power system must be regularly checked to ensure that it is safe. A badly maintained electric cart can be a electrocution and fire risk.
Electric golf cart parts, such as batteries, motors and speed controllers, are very reliable and should last many years without needing replacement. Cheaper electric cart parts, like battery cables, should be inspected frequently and replaced if they show signs of wear.
E-Z-Go Golf Cart Parts
E-Z-Go golf cart parts are available at most good cart shops for the most popular models, such as TXT and RXV.
