Still can't be as bad as it is here. Thank God the snowbirds are gone now.

This was just a couple weeks ago (no other vehicles involved) going around a round a bout. 🤦‍♂️

lol Considering the average age here is 72 it's kind of exciting around here. You definitely have to watch where you're going and make sure you're 1 step ahead of those around you. Almost like riding a motorcycle where you need eyes in the back of your head. 👀

Hopefully you don't have one of the broken leaf springs as seen on this forum.
I've crawled under and looked before and I couldn't see anything. I can't find anything loose at this point.

Who is the loose nut in this thread??? lol

I can't find the source of my noise from the rear either. Last time I was getting tires, techs looked at it for me, but they didn't find any rattles or anything loose.
Apparently I resemble that remark!! 😁

I hope it's found and simple! I'm just a bit over 46K miles so I'm thinking nothing too major.

I'm 61 and every time I meet someone they say "oh you're just a baby, wait 'till you get to be our age". lol It's a great area though and you can really hear some interesting stories as they love to talk.

Keeps you on your toes driving too because you never know which way they're coming (they're known to drive the wrong way a lot)) and you really need to watch out for them on their golf carts. They love to have a few pops afterwards and try and drive home. Many have wound up in the ditch on the side of the road or stuck up on the median. 😂

I do need to have front brakes done. There's also random sound coming from the driver's side & it sounds exactly like when you drop broom stick on concrete floor, or mop handle or something. I think it's coming from the rear leaf spring? I need to figure it out. It drives fine, but it's annoying as heck. lol
Noises can be like a water leak with the problem not where you see or hear it. I wrote about it on another thread once had a noise on a F-150 would have bet my life savings it was from the rear. After much searching and frustration discovered it was the bushings on the front sway bar.

I wonder how many fatalities each year from golf carts?

I remember George Jones being pulled over driving his lawn tractor down the highway. Drunk as a skunk! He got a DUI for too!

My neighbours in Verrado would be out at the nearby Italian restaurant, enjoying plenty of red wine.

Me: Do you guys want a lift back to your place?
Them: No, we’re good. We knew we’d be drinking so instead of driving, we brought the golf cart.

🤦‍♂️
