2014 RXV - Steering Column Squeak
Squeaks with any and all turns of the wheel. I spent time browsing other posts claiming similar issues - and also reviewed the service manual but still seeking guidance. I believe the bushing near the top of my steering column right under my steering wheel is the culprit. However I can’t figure out how to get it out to replace or service it. I got the wheel off but not sure where to go from here. Does the entire column need to come off...if so, how? Appreciate and advice!

I haven't done this....but I plan to put some oil around the top of the bushing. That may just be a temporary fix, but I just wanna get it thru hunting season.

Well, it’s worth a shot. Will give it a try. Hopefully there’s someone out there with more suggestions as well. Thx!

Re: 2014 RXV - Steering Column Squeak
You have to replace the whole column if that bearing goes bad.

Re: 2014 RXV - Steering Column Squeak
The entire column? I'm far from an expert....but the schematics https://www.ezgogolfcartguide.com/re...-and-steering/ "seem" to suggest that the top bearing is replaceable.
Plus you can purchase a steering column bushing https://www.golfcartking.com/ezgo-st...olumn-bushing/ from a supplier. Again.....I'm likely "all wet" when it comes to this.....but hey.....just asking. "Inquiring minds wanna know" :) |

I've had to replace the steering column before for that bearing going bad. I have cleaned out the bearing and worked in some white lithium grease to help a squeak before also.
