I bought an 04 grizzly and when i apply my rear brakes it makes a clunken noise from the front drive shaft. Also the front shaft has play in it. Doen anyone else who own a grizz have the same noise or looseness in the front shaft. The dealer says it is normal and all the grizzly's on the lot make the same noise. But i do not think it is normal. Please help

 

Sad but true, the Grizz rear brake is on the drive shaft so the slop in the rear end and trans is multiplied at that point. Lock up the rear and clunk! My front shaft has sompe play and it did leak grease from the front diff at first, I read in my shop manual this was caused by excessive assembley grease on the seal, I changed fluids a couple of times and now OK. Yamaha has the u joints in the front shaft at an extreme angle and this causes vibration when in 4WD. Sounds like all normal Grizz to me, just the nature of the beast.

 

Thank you i was worried cause i spent all that money and i did not think it was right but i am glad to here from others who hera the same noise. Thanks again
