To fix squeaky brakes on your golf cart, apply anti-squeal grease on the pads and replace the clips.
With prolonged use, the brake pads of golf carts usually emit a squeaky noise while applying the brakes. This can be one way of alerting you to replace the brake pads.
The process is as follows. You will need a floor jack and socket wrench to remove the wheels and nose pliers.
- Your golf cart has to be first parked on level ground.
- Fix a floor jack towards the rear of the golf cart to remove the rear wheels.
- Access the brake pads by sliding the wheel hub off. It will be held in position by a cotter pin.
- Remove the brake pads.
- Fix the new brake pads.
- Apply anti-squeal grease before fixing the new pads. The greasing should be done on the side that comes in contact with the wheel while the brakes are applied.
- Reassemble the wheels just as how you had dismantled them and you are good to go.
If it is only the sound you are concerned about and wish to continue with the existing brake pads on your golf cart, you can follow the same steps as above.
Instead of replacing the pads, apply the anti-squeal grease on the pads and fix them back. You can change the clips if they are worn out.
How to Stop Club Car Precedent Squeaking?
The squeaking noise from a 2015 Precedent golf cart is usually attributed to the bushings.
- The solution is to replace them with urethane bushings. They are found to be quite superior to the rubber bushings. The process of fitting them is not very tough either.
- For lubricating, a garage door lube is recommended.
- For better results, applying an anti-grease compound is recommended, after unbolting the suspension. This compound can last for years without creating any noise issues.
- One important finding by experienced users is that WD40 is not the right solution for problems related to noise in your club car. Instead, a heavy-duty silicone spray that costs just a little over $2 does a wonderful job. You can cruise in your golf cart noiselessly.
Another complaint related to noise in a CC Precedent golf cart is caused by the extended top. One user got so frustrated with the noise that he decided to remove the top, instead of trying the solutions to stop the squeaky noise.
One suggestion for this is to replace the support poles and secure the top with nylon washers to secure the bolts.
Finally, if nothing works, you could go back to the OE factory-supplied top and fit it to get rid of the noise completely.
How to Stop Yamaha Golf Cart Squeaking?
The noise from an electric Yamaha Golf Carts rear can be taken care of by the few actions that are given here.
- Reach under the rear of the cart and spin the axle tubes on either side.
- Tighten the nut holding the bub in place.
- These should get rid of the noise you were hearing.
- The point to be noted here is that the electric Yamaha golf cart does not come with any grease points and there is no point in searching for them.
In a 2012 G29 Yamaha golf cart, if you hear a noise, check the nuts on the axle hub. In particular, check the steel collar in the space between the hub and the bearing. The collar could be moving and making the noise.
You can check on the input shaft splines, the exhaust shield, clutches and the muffler on the exhaust. Any of these could be the source of the noise if you have not been able to identify where the noise is coming from.
