Need a sound diagnosis - Video in Post

[Craeshe]

I recently have been hearing a faint sound from the rear passenger wheel. Now it is definitely more noticeable. Can anyone tell me if its a simple bearing replacement, or sounding something more with the axle before i tear into it?

First thing would be make sure the wheel is tight- if not if can make similar sounds to that.

If it is, it might be a problem with the bearing or the noise could be coming from the rear end.

A YDRE of that year doesn’t have brake drums at the wheel so that eliminates the most obvious suspect.

check your axle nut make sure it is tight, there is a spacer on the transaxle that makes a noise like that if it is loose. If that isn't it it could be the rubber bushing between the motor and the input shaft that also makes a similar noise when the bushing wears out.

I am in the process of removing the wheel assembly. Im thinking that i am down there I will just replace the bearing...Youtube is extremely helpful here! lol

Ill update when i get it replaced.

Amazon had the bearing! Same day shipping at that...lol Now to get the assembly off and remove the bearing without a press. hmmmmmm

So, I got the passenger side inner axle out and found that the bearing was actually in good health. There was however; a bunch of sand/dirt built up all around the bearing, the axle and components.

I cleaned everything i could, put a light layer of bearing grease to keep it all smooth and put it back together. No more grinding sound! Could have been a loose axle nut or other, but at least I can return the bearing i bought!

NOTE: I did not know this - When i pulled the inner axle out, wet brake fluid came out with it. Little did i know or realize, that pulling the rod, opened up the hole to that compartment, traveling down the axle to the wheel. A quick jack on the passenger side kept the fluid to the left and I was able to work.

Not brake fluid, gear oil, sniff it, it smells like dead dinosaurs. Glad you got it solved.

No thanks there buddy....Golf carts are far more erotic than whatever the hell those videos illustrate. Now you just wasted several minutes of my life and placed a terrible stain on this great forum. I except that i will not have to view your contributions in the future

Who, me? A terrible stain? I doubt a joke is capable of all that... If I have defiled your fragile sensibilities by making a joke, I don't know what to tell ya.......
