while out for a ride tonight my rubicon started to make a grinding noise when ever i turned to wheeles shape, or sometimes randomly, when i got home did a quick ckeck couldn`t find anything wrong.any ideas?

 

My guess would prob be that there is something in your brakes or somewhere in your drivetrain that everytime you turn it starts to grind so take a close look and make sure nothing is in your wheels or brakes first then start to look at the more major things.

 

Theres nothing around the front axles that i can see, and i can`t see anything around the brakes

 

did you take it apart and check because there may be rocks or sticks stuck in there?

 

I know on cars if a CV shaft is bad they will make noise when turning the wheel while its moving. Haven't been around quads long enough to know if the same holds true for them but it is something to check on.

 

never had a chance to even remove the wheel, but will take it off tomorrow morning and look.Need to fix it quick need the rubicon for tomorrow night

 

also it might be like dirt or dried mud because i went through mud then cleaned it (or thought ) and theres was dry mud on the rotors

 

that might be it because i did go throught mud alittle bit before the nise started, have to check that too.

 

Is it possible it may-be coming from the front diff. , check and make sure c.v's are seated properly at both end's. just had a simular problem with a noise, turned out--had a bad C-clip on the 1-c.v shaft. Mine made a noise for a while, had a hard time finding it for awhile---finally jacked bike completely off the ground and located it that way! good luck---buy a repair manual--great book to have and well worth the money !!

 

after alittle bit of checking i found that the front left bearing is gone.anyone know if this could be cause the grinding and how hard is it to replace
