Sounds like the wheel may be contacting something. It may be the wrong wheel that only worked on the rear or there may be a problem with the installation. Either way you need to jack the cart up and turn the wheel by hand to find out.

The noise could also be from a chopped tire or slipped belt. A bad tire could also be causing a radial pull. If all this started after you rotated the tires, you should rotate them back to see if your symptoms disappear.





Since we volunteer our time and knowledge, we ask for you to please follow up when a problem is resolved.

Yea I thought about those too but when I turn wheel to left I get some free play. If I'm going straight n I turn wheel left its got free play of about 10 degrees or so I'm gonna try the aboves. O before I did the rotation one tire did have a bad vibration to it. Thanks for input...
