My rear wheel locked up!
I have a 1984 Club Car electric that I bought used 11 years ago. I use it every day winter and summer. We heat our house with an outdoor wood furnace. I even keep the furnace going all summer, just to heat the hot water. I cut wagon loads of wood and use the golf cart to pull them to the furnace.
I install tire chains in winter otherwise the tires just spin when we get freezing rain. There really isn't enough clearance between the tire and the suspension, so last fall I installed lug spacers that I bought on eBay. They give an additional 1.5 inches of clearance.
My driver's side rear tire locked up today and started dragging. I found that 3 of the lug bolts were missing completely, and the fourth was disconnected from the spindle. The lug bolt just rotates freely. The lug nuts were still connected to the spacers.
Do I need a new spindle or what?

I'd start with pulling the brake drum and see what is causing the problem.
