Suspension may be hurt on 03 400 4x4

I have a 2003 Arctic cat 400 4x4. I was out driving it at night with one of my friends on back for about an hour and all of a sudden it started to stear funny, it just didn’t fell the same. I stopped and saw a big rock jammed in the front left hand side suspension at the bottom and there was grease every where on the suspension. Why is there grease on the suspension and did the rock that was jammed in the suspension hurt anything. Thanks

You tore a CV joint boot. Change it.

It sounds like it is your axle, not suspention. Like Bear said you tore a CV boot, that would be my guess. Here are directions on how to do it yourself. Or just take it back to the stealer and they will fix it for you too. Good luck.

Also, get yourself a set of stick stoppers to prevent this from happening again. Check out the crome ones I have on my H1. I can hook you up with a guy that makes them, I think they are $125 a set, but I can't remember. They look sweet too!
