RXV rear wheel bearings?

Isaac-1 · 09-13-2016, 06:46 PM

I need to replace the rear wheel bearings on my RXV soon (makes clacking sound when cornering while leaning). I was wondering if there is a more reliable bearing option out there for this application?

thanks Ike

Although your noise might now be a bad bearing, the issue is not going with a better bearing. RXV rear hubs are prone to rock, this item should be checked at each service interval, but unfortunately most shops/people, don't check it. It then rocks, wipes out the bearing and/or the axle- drivers side more often than not. EZGO is very proud of that axle too

Is there anything that can be done to address the rocking? I tightened it but there is still a subtle rock on the rear driver side.

Bearing then may have been damaged. Change it, keep the hub tight and the bearing will last a long time

Is it the bearings that rock or a warped hub?
