Squeaky Suspension in RXV
I have this irritating squeak/groan coming from my rear suspension. I hosed all the bushings down with silicon spray but no change. I think I've isolated it to the left rear shock, perhaps an internal spring? Two questions: 1. How do you remove the rear shocks so I can check them? 2. EZGO is way too proud of their shocks. Is there an automotive version that I can substitute should I find the shock to be the culprit?

Re: Squeaky Suspension in RXV
When does it squeak and groan? Is it separate when it does it? I will be searching for different shocks soon for mine to, haven’t cross referenced them yet

Re: Squeaky Suspension in RXV
I thought maybe those "No Step" covers over the rear wheel wells were probably the access points but wasn't sure. Thanks, Bob! I am hopeful there is an auto part substitute for these shocks although them might be a little stiff given the difference in weight. As for the noise, it results from short travel in the suspension -- but one that engages the shocks. There are two different "squeaks" -- higher pitched on the way down, lower on the way up. Let me know what you come across Scoots. If I take the project on right away I'll post my luck with a automotive shock. I'm just surprised they would go that fast. The cart is a '13 and not run in the woods but I confess to having missed seeing a hole or two.

Re: Squeaky Suspension in RXV
very likely it might be the bushings in the suspension...mine was the springs themselves-some fluid film fixed that!

Re: Squeaky Suspension in RXV
I’ll let you know if I look into it soon too, I have a 14 and I’ve taken the shocks off and wasn’t impressed. Maybe I’ll take one off soon and get it crossed cause they don’t really shock as good as I thought

Re: Squeaky Suspension in RXV
Thanks, Rooster! I'll pull the one I think is the culprit and see.
