Shock bushing help

[FLSteve]

I have a carter brother two seater. The shocks in the front seem to change the angle when depressed so I tried to adjust the shock. When doing this I noticed that all the front bushings in the ends of the shock were almost not there. I have searched a few places and have not seen the bushings that I need. I did see someone make the bushing but was wondering if there is a supplier to purchase these bushing from.

The go kart model number is 2946-3016
Picture of the front shocks that need bushing and my son Christmas day in his racing suit with his new go kart...
Thanks for the help

Also please Google that carter Bros Model number. I see recalls associated with it.

First thank you... I did check out the recall information before I purchased the kart. Seems mine was built after or already changed/repaired the front wheels. I did not see any other recalls listed but if you do know of one please let me know. Also his God father provided a racing ATV helmet that must be use for any child using the kart. I checked the seatbelts and require anyone to use before I will start the engine. I agree my son or any anyone using this will be safe, so I truly appreciate any advice.

I checked out both links and I don't see my model number listed. Also the bushings(in other manuals) look like the bushings come as a unit with the shocks and not sold separately. The kart has very little use. I think the 3 times we used it so far more than the previous owner used it from new. They had a bill of sale from last 2015 Christmas. The rear tires still have the nubs so I don't think the shocks are bad just the bushings from sitting in the showroom/storage for so many years.

Edit..... he did not wear those shoes either that was just for show....

Sounds like your good on the safety. Even more than most. I just meant the recall.
Call Go Power Sports about the Bushings. They will help you. and they are really nice folks.

Yeah, wife did not understand why a 6 year old would want a go kart (she is from South America)and did not think it was safe. So I did a little work before to save myself the aggravation later.
