Default EZGO vibration

I just purchased a 2002 Ezgo electric golf cart, got it to the campground and noticed that it whines louder than everybody elses and also has a vibration. I checked and added gear oil to the axle but that didn't help, any ideas as to what i should look at? Please don't tell me the motor is bad, haha

Welcome to BGW!

Vibration and noise may be two issues.

Vibration is often tires being out of round or imbalanced.
I had some vibration due to the beads of some new tires not being fully seated in the rims.

The whine might be the motor, or differential gears, or maybe axle bearings. or something else.
Electric carts tend to whine a bit and some are louder than others, but after 12 years your motor might need a new set of brushes and bearings.

Does your cart have a series or sepex drive?
If it has a Run/Tow switch on the controller cover, it is a sepex drive (PDS)
