Axle

The axle is the main component to making the side wheels go round and is turned through the gearbox. It is held in to place by securing pins which go through the end of the gearbox, this does make replacing the axle a little easier as the gearbox does not need to come off too. The axle goes through two axle mounts located on the left and right hand side of the chassis and are usually black and then at the ends of the axle will be a clutch bearing, One for the left side and one for the right side and these must be fitted on the correct sides as they will not work correctly otherwise.

Gearbox

The gearbox provides the gearing system for your golf trolley working directly from the motor and is another essential part of your golf trolley which should be looked after. Worn axle mounts are one area that can put extra strain on your gear box and shorten its lifespan if not sorted out so checks on your trolley are advised fairly regularly. Listen out for noises as these can be a sign that your gearbox is starting to fail.

Axle Mounts

The axle mounts are located on the left and right side and fixed to the underside of the chassis. They keep the axle in line but because they are made from plastic they are prone to wearing over time and when there is excess play this can put the gearbox under some extra strain and can produce a squeaking noise where the axle rubs on the underside of the battery tray on some trolleys, so check them or get us to check them to ensure that you don’t accrue extra work and cost.
