Rxv question

CJones · 08-03-2012, 10:18 PM

Is there a place to grease the axles? Or anything else for that matter. There is a strange noise coming from thE front end. I am new to working on carts. I just jacked up both front and back today and tightened every bolt I could possibly see. So I know nothing is loose.

There are no grease fittings on these carts. Probably have some worn pivot and a-arm bushings. May help to spray some wd40 on all spring and suspension bushings.

iamrcox is on the trail. The RXVs I have seen almost all have needed the bushings. Jack up the front end, remove the wheels, unbolt the hubs at the bottom of the shocks and inspect the bushings

Thanks for the info! The w-40 worked great...bushings looked good from what I could tell...(now I'm going to show my ignorance, im not quite sure what a bad bushing would look like.)

It would be not round anymore. They wear into what looks like a hole the shape of a football.

wd-40 huh ? I may pull my front end apart and put in some grease.. however, that would probably gather dirt..
