Default 2009 rxv rear axel , whining ?

The rear axel on my cart makes a whining noise , the noise increases with the speed , normal ? Bad barring? The cart dealer said all was good with the cart up on delivery he drove it around the whining sound was present at that time .

Could be input shaft or bearings, or worse. Has high speed gears? How fast does it go?

That's what I'm afraid to hear , bearings , just took it down the road the whining is much less going down hill , the dealer set it for medium speed 14 mph via gps

I've always considered my cart to have a whirring sound ... my kids whine... I like wine... lol... describing sounds can be such a pain

my 2010 has always had a distinctive whir (or whine) sound dependent on speed. Always, whether right or not, considered it to be the RXV. might be time for a youtube video

Fresh off the YouTube press ... my cart's rear end

Anyway, here's the link to a video just uploaded. Hope you find the sound consistent with yours ...and we both don't have a problem! Misery loves company right!

If I were in Y'all's boat, I would do both input shaft bearings to start with, because that is the cheapest place to start, a common noise maker on rxv, and can be done fairly easy with the axle still in the cart. (Except for that pesky 4-pass kit in the way).
