2010 G29 Making Grinding Noise From Rear

[eschlange]

Hows it going guys, my 2010 G29 is making a slight grinding noise from the rear. I am suspecting bad outer axle bearings, but they don't appear to have any play in them when up on jack stands. Transaxle is a yellow tag, fluid was just replaced. Old fluid was pretty nasty but no chunks. Magnet on the drain plug had 1/4" of magnetic sludge stuck to it. No change after doing the fluid change. Any thoughts before i order bearings?

Grinding is probably coming from the outer axle bearings but you should be able to tell by listening on jack stands. They may not grind as much with no weight on them. I have a 2009 and 2012 with the same rear end but I have not had any bearing issues with mine. I have some driveline gear noise but that is pretty much normal for those rear ends I think.

Thanks for the input! I think I will go ahead and get some bearings coming and see if that makes my noise go away

Just for giggles try spinning the collar that is between the rear hub and the transaxle housing...if the axle nut is not tight enough they free spin and make noise when you are driving cart...they should be tight and not spin if cart is not moving...
