bent axle
what would be the best way to check for bent axle?
09 G29 ...... jack up the rear, remove wheels and run cart? It looks like I might have one. when I am driving I look at drivers rear wheel and it has a small wobble to it. I don't think I have a bad rim Thanks for the help |

Re: bent axle
Simply switch rear wheels, left to right and observe again. If the problem moves to the other side it's the wheel. If the problem stays, you may have a bent axle.

Re: bent axle
If it is the axle, take it out of the car and take it to an auto drive line shop. They can straighten it!!

Re: bent axle
Have you seen how big those axles are? If you have one bent, you would have been in a big accident.

Re: bent axle
Thanks guys, I got the cart out of a lease program, when I test drove it everything seemed to fine with the mechanicals of the cart. I am now on the fence about maybe a bearing being bad in the housing....... is that more common?

Re: bent axle
You have a much newer car than in your pic. Find the problem, but axles and brake drums (if it has brake drums?) should still be available for an 09 car!!

Re: bent axle
I think your going to find that it is far more common to have a bent rim than a bent axle.

Re: bent axle
I have replaced many bad bearings in G29 (both gas and electric), my recomdation to you is to look for oil/grease on the outside of the bearing and check for any "lateral play". Once the beraing is "exploded" you will have a really/really/really hard time cutting the outer race out of the axle housing
 Bearings are cheap from a bearing house (I can get you the bearing # if needed). Like posted earlier....those are thick axles, eather wheel/bearing or hub. Good luck |
