EZGO RXV Electric - Rear Differential Twisting
I have a 2017 EZGO RXV Electric with a 6 inch lift kit. Yesterday while out for a drive, the cart made an awful clunk when starting from a dead stop. I stopped and looked over the cart with no apparent damage visible. Resume the drive, clunk - cart is dead. Tow it back to the house, get the cart jacked up and the encoder cable is severed. Why would that happen? Get the cable rewired to make the cart run and do further troubleshooting. Long story longer, the center differential where the motor mounts is twisting on the axle tubes!! Upon acceleration the torque of the motor throws the housing against the bag well. If the cart is put in reverse it twists the other way. I'm not sure if the axle tubes are pressed in but there is a definite issue here. I've returned the cart to the dealer and he is stumped as well. Anyone else seen this issue before and if so, what was the remedy?

Is it the locating pins at the spring perch? I have seen those broken off before.

Re: EZGO RXV Electric - Rear Differential Twisting
I thought that too, but it isn't the entire assembly twisting. The tubes are staying stationary, which makes me think the tubes are press fit into the differential housing.

They are press fit and plug welded. On the oil pan sealing surface is 2 holes that will have a weld in the hole.

Time to replace the rear end.

Re: EZGO RXV Electric - Rear Differential Twisting
If the tubes are just welded, can't you take it somewhere to get it welded?

Re: EZGO RXV Electric - Rear Differential Twisting
I'm hoping it is a warranty issue as the cart is less than a year old. Thanks for the feedback.
