Chirping Noise when hitting bumps

[Al H]

My 2014 EXGO RXV has a chirping noise coming from the rear of the cart when I hit bumps on cement cart paths. I see lots of questions about squeaks, but my noise is clearly not a squeaking sound -- it is a fairly high pitched chirping sound. I cannot replicate the sound when the cart is sitting still by moving the suspension; it's only when I hit bumps on the cement. Never on a smooth surface. I have tried wd40 on the bushings, springs, etc., as well as tightening all suspension bolts. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Try tightening the bolts that hold the battery tray to the frame. It's plastic and the bolt heads can make a squeak sound when hitting bumps, if they are loose. It took me a while to find the source of that sound. LOL

Thanks for the suggestion! I checked these bolts and they were tight. The bolts to the brackets that tighten the batteries to the tray were a little loose, but that was not the problem. The trouble shooting continues. Thanks again!

Also WD40 is not a lubricant. Try something like Lithium White lube.

Will do!
