Growling and grinding sound from rear wheel of E-Z Go golf cart
I have a growling and grinding sound coming from the right rear wheel on my 1999 E-Z Go Freedom Electric Golf Car. The repair man says it's not the bearing. All bearings were cleaned and packed 1 year ago. He's checked the brakes, the wheel, bearing and differential all seem OK. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Please advise.

Re: Growling and grinding sound from rear wheel of E-Z Go golf cart
Welcome to BGW
sounds like a striped brake hub, you have to be able to see the castle nut in the middle of your rear wheels, if you have a center cap covering the nut, you need to remove it, when you can see the castle nut holding the hub on the axle, --- this will take two people to do, one of you put your foot on the brake and push the go pedal easy, JUST for a second, and the other needs to see if the NUT in the middle of the wheel is spinning, and the wheel is not, start with the driver side, but check both , this is a common problem with ezgo, let us know what you find, its a easy fix if this is your problem. http://www.buggiesgonewild.com/elect...-spinning.html |

Stripped hub as said, brakes parts loose, loose wheel. If the cart will drive I would bet on wheel bearing if the noise is at the hub. |

Yeah if it's driving it shouldn't be the hub, sounds like a bearing or the tire rubbing on something, and why couldn't the repair man tell you what the problem was? the rear bearings are not packable they are sealed bearings, you can pack the front only, they are only 14 years old

Test the wheels as RIB33024 said in previous post or pull the hub and look at the splines and feel of the wheel bearings and brakes. Torque castle nut to 70 - 140 ft lbs. tighten to 70 and then just enough more to put cotter pin in the castle nut on axle maximum 140.
