Rear Wheel Knocking
I recently acquired a 2008 ezgo txt 36v cart and have been loving it. Since I’ve had the cart I’ve had to replace both of the brake drums due to learning the limitations of the cart. Rear tires were stuck on a curb and I tried to gas it and stripped the splines out of the brake hub. Anyways, lately I’ve noticed a knock coming from the rear driver side tire. The knock is more pronounced when going up hill and the faster I go the faster the noise gets. What are some good ways to diagnose this? The axle nut was torqued to 100ft lbs and is still tight. The lug nuts are on tight. Any other things to diagnose? I was thinking possibly a bad wheel bearing issue maybe. Thanks in advance!

Re: Rear Wheel Knocking
Knock do you mean noise with each revolution of the wheel? Or noise when only under accel going up hills?

Re: Rear Wheel Knocking
Sounds like it could be an axle bearing which I think Cobra, 1 is trying to figure out with his questions as well. The knock would sound almost like a clicking sound.

Re: Rear Wheel Knocking
Yeah the noise is with each revolution of the wheel. When going down hill I can’t seem to hear it but when going uphill and accelerating it’s a loud knock. If I drive slow and on a flat surface I can hear it each revolution.

Re: Rear Wheel Knocking
Axle bearing is cheap and easy to change out I would start there as it really sounds like a bearing as you've stated you checked everything else in that area.

Re: Rear Wheel Knocking
I noticed the knocking getting really loud today so I pulled the rear driver side tire off and pulled the axle out. The wheel bearing is definitely shot but I don’t have a vise to remove the wheel bearing. Any alternative ways or tricks to remove this bearing? The oil seal is shot too so I’ll replace it while I’m in there. Would it be a good idea to replace the rear passenger side wheel bearing and seal too?

Re: Rear Wheel Knocking
Replace both sides.
Should be a sticky on forum describing bearing replacement.Not that difficult if you follow step by step instructions. Forum seaarch will also show pictures of those who have done it. Get stuck,ask here😊 |
