1995 EZ-Go Medalist Differential Problem
I recently bought a '95 EZ-Go electric Medalist. It's my first golf cart and I don't know a lot about them. The cart didn't run when I bought it, and the guy said it needed batteries. I bought new batteries and cables and it's up and running. The problem is there's a rubbing, scratchy kind of noise coming from what I assume is the differential in the rear end. What would be likely to cause this? Does it just need oil? If so, where is the oil fill tube/hole on this model's differential? (I see the drain plug on the bottom) Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Re: 1995 EZ-Go Medalist Differential Problem
Welcome to BGW!
The fill tube/plug is mid-ways, about halfway up on the left side, rear side of the axle. It will make "some" noise but not at a level that you notice as something is wrong. I would suggest changing the gear oil. I prefer full synthetic but others use different weights of dino oil. I guess its up to you. I don't think they use an 80/90 gear oil, I think they use more along the lines of a 30wt HD oil. (High detergent) |

Re: 1995 EZ-Go Medalist Differential Problem
Thanks for the quick responses everyone. I got the oil changed, and it helped a little. It didn't seem to help much, but I'll keep looking. Thanks again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hog-- Your noise may also be a motor problem, the bearings can cause a constant rough sound, or the brushes can even be making a rough scratching sound if they are almost bad. Your rear axle bearings can cause these noises as well. Rear ends are rarely bad, usually something else is the problem.. |

Re: 1995 EZ-Go Medalist Differential Problem
I've seen more bad motor bearings than anything. Once the bearings are out you can deffinately tell when you spin or attempt to spin the bearings.
