Club Car DS Rear End Noise
Just picked up a cheap 1998 Club Car DS 48v as a project. It's basically sound but has a horrible noise and harsh vibration coming from the rear end.
I would welcome suggestions as to what is the most likely source of this noise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcxh9p4AfZk |

Exhaust leak?
Kidding...maybe the gears? Pull the motor and take a look-see inside. |

Re: Club Car DS Rear End Noise
Turns out it was worn splines on the motor (see photo). Switched known good motor from one of my other carts and it ran well. I installed a Motor Centering Kit and it got rid of about 75% of the vibration - guess it was too far gone. Still not satisfactory, so time for a new motor.

Re: Club Car DS Rear End Noise
Is that kind of wear indicative of a worn centering kit?

Re: Club Car DS Rear End Noise
The centering kit is an add-on to help on these types series motors. They were not an OEM item from the factory.
