87 Textron rear suspension noise

karrpinc · 09-19-2010, 08:50 PM

We recently were given an 87 Textron. When stopping there is noise coming from the rear of the cart. It sounds like an old beat up jalopee(sp?) A friend recomended putting oil on the leaf springs and leaf spring-bushing wish we did and no help.
The noise is not grinding, squeaking breaks but more like shocks going back and forth making an er-er-er-er sound.
When the cart is sitting still I can push up and down on the cart and it will not make a noise. It only seems to happen when coming to a stop.

Please give me an idea of what to do to solve this noise issue.

Thanks!!

If it only does it when stopping, pull the brake drums and take a look at the shoes.. If it's never had the brakes relined, a 1987 model is more than likely due for a new set of shoes by now..
