I agree that it’s a 10 year old golf cart but also know noises in vehicles that don’t sound right. :) |

Re: Grinding noise from rear of cart
I tell our boss that "You can't satisfy 100% of people 100% of the time" but she refuses to grasp it.
You'd be surprised the price SOME folks will pay. We just rebuilt a flood special limo Precedent (it's not a real Precedent other than in body--it's a China clone!) And that cost the customer more than 13,000 dollars in the end. it was fully corroded, rear end shot, motor shot, controller shot, pedal group shot, etc. he still preferred to pay that than buy a new car that cost 1/2 that. However lately our main customers refuse to pay more than $50 to replace batteries or buy a car cheaper than $800 and are not going to be satisfied either way. Luckily they're starting to bring in some old resistor cars and at least those can be done cheap. I have missed how simple it is to work on those. Last one was just a bad wire from the charging receptacle on a 36V club car. OP: the noise is nothing to worry about. My Saturn ION makes more noise and it's been going on past 125,000 miles on interstates. Golf cars will wear and make all sorts of noises. You'd only have to worry if you smelled smoke or heard a battery go kaboom! It's the picky Steve Jobs types I worry about. There were a few last year who heard the sound an RXV makes at high speed (the AC motor whine) and complained. It was impossible to educate them on 'normal' sounds they make. Other times the solenoid clicking on a car scared someone. |

Re: Grinding noise from rear of cart
I would pull the drums, as has been suggested by several (but not yet tried). Taking the wheels off and looking at the drums & shaking them does not equal an actual inspection. I would also slide the axle shafts out to check the wheel bearings (only retained by a snap ring). If that doesnt lead you any where, the motor coupler would be my second guess as well.

Re: Grinding noise from rear of cart
I had the same issue and it was the motor coupler. Easy fix after I went through checking the rear brakes, dropping the rear differential cover to inspect the gears and change the gear oil. Good luck with fixing it.

I found a guy in our park who works on golf carts and he’s apparently very good so after Christmas I’ll get him to take a look at it. |

Re: Grinding noise from rear of cart
You should change the input shaft also. Otherwise, it will wear your new coupler at an accelerated rate.
