Brakes Locking Up
I'm having issues with my 06 Club Car Precedent with the brakes locking up. It all stated during our trip down to Florida. We used the cart a lot. I did install heavy duty leaf springs prior to the trip but I did several test runs around the neighborhood and all seemed fine. The brake peddle seems like it has enough play in it. I noticed one side is grabbing more than the other and the brakes squeak really bad in reverse. Any suggestions.

Re: Brakes Locking Up
Are the brake cables stretched? Axle twist can cause the cables to pull and lock up the brakes. They have to be long enough- sometimes two passenger side cables fixes it.

Re: Brakes Locking Up
Is this cart lifted?

Re: Brakes Locking Up
When you put the HD springs on you likely did not get the axle and springs aligned good before you tightened the u bolts, also you may not have got them tight enough. Now you have an axle twisted a little. Lift the cart and reset the axle and get the u bolts tight.

Re: Brakes Locking Up
Thanks all.
Yes the cart is lifted. It’s the one in the profile pic. I’ll look see if the axle has loosed & twisted. That’s the last thing I messed with before the issues. |

Re: Brakes Locking Up
Awesome I’ll give that a shot.
Are the U Bolts pictures beefy enough? |

Re: Brakes Locking Up
That’s about typical for a lift kit.

Re: Brakes Locking Up
Dave - ordered cables from your site. The passenger said it was a standard cable, is that correct?
Thanks |

Re: Brakes Locking Up
Yes, standard cable on the passenger side. They don't make a longer one for a lifted cart because it's plenty long enough already. But you may want to check your shopping cart and make sure you finished the checkout. I do not have an order from you.
