2014 CC Precedent - New HD Rear Leaf Spring install - Grinding noise?
I installed new HD rear leaf springs last night on my 2014 club car precedent. I started with the back driver side first, completed the steps, put the wheel back on and minimally drove the cart to get it in position for the passenger side - had no grinding or buzzing noises or anything out of the ordinary.
I then completed the passenger side. The u bolt attachment was harder to get installed than the driver side but eventually got it and put the wheel back on. As I drove the cart back in place in the garage, we are talking about driving inches here, there is a grinding noise, metal on metal sound almost like the wheel drum wasn’t secure. So I took the wheel off, checked the drum and can’t figure out the issue. I tried loosening the break line thinking it was too tight but still had the issue. Any advice? I made a video this morning for reference, you can hear the grinding noise but also when i engage the gas there is a buzzing noise that can also be heard in the video. youtu. be/TG0hk2Fabnw the above link should be with no spaces in the URL (in between . and b, i can only post URLs after being a member for 7 days and i just joined. Thanks in advance. |

Resolved!
The plate that is attached to the brake line/where the u-bolt screws into was rubbing the back of the wheel. Issue was from the u-bolt being slightly distorted and wasn’t at the right angle after installation. It required a few knocks with a hammer and fixed the issue after retightening the u-bolt in its adjusted position. |
