98 EZ-GO Rear End Differential Issues
Electric motor makes noise and spins but, the cart won’t move.
It made a bad sound before this happened almost like a grinding or slipping sound. How do I diagnose this? |

Re: 98 EZ-GO Rear End Differential Issues
Sounds like a stripped hub. Does the nut spin on the driver or passenger side we you try to accelerate?

You shouldn’t have to pull the wheels, depress the pedal and see if the axle nut spins. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I took the center caps off my wheels so I can visually inspect the hub. The driver side center nut spins but the hub remains stationary. |

Re: 98 EZ-GO Rear End Differential Issues
You sir have stripped hubs. Common problem and easy fix. Get the ausco two piece hub and you won’t have anymore issues

Re: 98 EZ-GO Rear End Differential Issues
I agree with the ausco statement but they are getting tough to find.

Re: 98 EZ-GO Rear End Differential Issues
Thanks for the advice. I will order a new hub for the driver side.
How do you typically hold the hub when you torque the nut? |

The hub won’t spin if the spline isn’t stripped and the brake is locked. I usually just make sure the hub is all the way in and then lock the brake. I use an impact wrench for the castellated nut. Club Car DS driver’s club #59 |

Re: 98 EZ-GO Rear End Differential Issues
Cart started making a new noise.
I had previously resolved the issue with the brake hub and spline. Carts been going strong all last season. A few days ago I noticed this sound. (See video) I would describe it as a creaking/grinding metallic sound. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lN9...w?usp=drivesdk The cart only makes the sound went off power and coasting. The sound is not present when the rear axle is on jackstands without load. |
