Help - creaking noise sounds like loose wheel
2006 EZGO TXT PDS with 6" Jake Lift
22" tires on 10" SS rims and 2" 4x101.6 wheel spacers w/ 1/2" wheel studs i have a creaking noise that sounds like a loose left rear wheel. i have: 1. tripple checked the lug nuts and made sure they are tight on both the spacers & Wheels 2. Rotated the tires & wheels from front to back 3. checked the rearend fluid. 4. i put spacers between the wheel and Wheel Spacer - made no differance. It does not sound like a bearing noise. it is not a growling noise. I pray someone has some idea what could be causing this. |

Hub splines maybe?

Re: Help - creaking noise sounds like loose wheel
I would think if it was the hub splines it would be a deeper heavy metal type sound. in fact i guess i could say its more of a clicking sount

Re: Help - creaking noise sounds like loose wheel
Regardless of what it may "sound like" check the nuts at the axle/hub splines. It is such a common failure point they need to be checked (both sides) regularly.

Have you checked your clutches, secondary and rear end grease?

Re: Help - creaking noise sounds like loose wheel
What type of tires do you have on it?

Sounds like a wheel bearing going out. Wheel spacers can cause havoc on the axles and the bearings.

Re: Help - creaking noise sounds like loose wheel
I had a weird creak/squeak that turned out to be the castle/axle nut being slightly loose. Just a thought.

Re: Help - creaking noise sounds like loose wheel
I have the same annoying issue on my 2010 RXV. Last time I took it apart applied anti-seize on the hub and shaft, went away but came back again.
Ordered new hubs and will change it before I have to change the axle shaft. |

Re: Help - creaking noise sounds like loose wheel
Axle nuts are tight. i thought due to the size of the tires that spacers were required. I removed the 2" spacers and the tires did not rub an the noise is gone. so now the question is - the spacers and wheels are held on with conical (Std Tapered Type) type lug nuts. should i be using mag wheel lug nuts?
