Drive-up EZGO TXT Tie Rod Assembly Fits 2001-Up TXT Models

In this review of the Drive-up EZGO TXT Tie Rod Assembly, the bottom line is simple: it is a direct-fit replacement for 2001-up EZGO TXT gas and electric golf carts that restores steering precision and reduces forward noise and uneven tire wear. The reviewer found the kit useful for owners who need a complete tie rod solution, since the package includes one TXT tie rod and two TXT tie rod ends and measures about 26.96' with the ends installed. For anyone maintaining a 4- or 6-passenger TXT or sport variant, this assembly addresses worn steering linkages without complicated modifications.

Key Features

• Compatible fit: Designed to replace OEM EZGO TXT tie rod and tie rod ends so installation aligns with factory mounting points and steering geometry.
• Complete kit: The set includes one tie rod and two tie rod ends, which avoids needing to hunt for matching components and saves installation time.
• Durable material: Constructed from aluminum alloy for a balance of strength and corrosion resistance that holds up to regular use on gas and electric carts.
• Correct length: The assembly measures 26.96' with tie rod ends installed, giving the proper reach for wheel steering on TXT models without extra adjustments.
• Noise and wear fix: Replacing worn parts can reduce forward noise and uneven tire wear by restoring correct toe and steering response.
• Easy installation: The Drive-up assembly is intended for straightforward swap-in installation for owners comfortable with basic steering maintenance.

Who It's For

This tie rod assembly is for owners of EZGO TXT golf carts from 2001 and newer, including 4- and 6-passenger Shuttle models and ST Express, ST 480, ST Sport series, and Clays Car variants, who need a full tie rod replacement rather than individual ends. It suits DIY mechanics and fleet maintainers who want a durable, OEM-replacement length and want to address steering play or tire wear.

It is less suitable for owners of non-TXT EZGO models or very early TXT vintages not covered by the 2001-up compatibility, and those who prefer OEM-branded parts should verify part numbers before purchasing.
