Rear End Noise
Hello All!,
I have a gas 2012 Club Car. Another golfer was riding with me and said it sounds like I have a rear end noise and it needs greased. So my question is, where do you grease the rear end and what kind of grease do you use? Thanks for any help! |

Re: Rear End Noise
If it was squeaking, you may want to check the bushings. There will be some in the rear leaf springs, 2 per side.

Re: Rear End Noise
The bushings are what provide a flexible attachment point of the leaf springs to the chassis. No greasing, just replacement. You can see the rear bushings just looking under the cart, the front bushings may be easier to see by jacking up and removing the rear wheels.
See the attached photo, the bushings are installed on the thru bolt. Amazon sells replacements. There may also be some on the front. |

Re: Rear End Noise
This is what a typical bushing kit looks like.

Re: Rear End Noise
What does the noise sound like? A worn bushing is not serious, a noisy rear end is.

Like I said, he thought the rear end just needed greased, but I didn't know you could grease the rear end. The two grease points for the front are full. |
