1998 Club Car 48Volt Axle Trouble
The transaxle on the passenger side of my Club Car slipped out. I took the axle apart and it looks like some kind of ring has came loose from somewhere. I thought I fixed this by putting it back together the other day but it slipped out again last night. The teeth on the axle shaft look fine on both the female and male sides. How do I put this axle back together with the knowledge of knowing it won't slide out again? Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Re: 1998 Club Car 48Volt Axle Trouble
Depending on brand of axle you have as some have retainer ring ( C Clip ) as SHADOWMAN says that hold bearing assembly in place OR bearing is pressed on axle without ring needed? This old a cart could have been changed out with different axle or different brands I think were used during the 1995-1998 period?

Be CAREFUL !!!
A local person was killed when the axle slid out of a Club Car at speed here. Check the Snap ring and the Snap ring Groove in the axle tube. |

Re: 1998 Club Car 48Volt Axle Trouble
Thanks everyone....I checked the Golfcartpartsdirect website and I didn't even see the C clip when I removed the axle. It is a Kawasaki axle. There was what looked like some kind of metal seal. What are the steps on putting this back together? The bearings look fine as well as everything else. Should I just order the C-Clip and put that on? If so what order are assembled? I'm kind of a newbie.

Re: 1998 Club Car 48Volt Axle Trouble
If your axle came out when you were driving there is a chance you may have damaged the axle shaft oil seal. It is a press fit inside the tube.The bearing is a sealed unit so it sits outside of the oil seal.

Re: 1998 Club Car 48Volt Axle Trouble
Yes Golfdog...I think you're right on the oil seal. It did come out while I was driving. I checked the C-clip and bearing and everything appears to be fine. When I pulled the tube off I did find a smooth metal seal that came off and when I tried to put back together I was leaking oil from the brakes. How do I replace the axle shaft oil seal? You say it is press fit. I think that is the problem. I found a new axle w/o gearbox for $150 with brakes and everything but I really don't want to buy it if I don't have to.
