Default Front end problem

When I push down on the right side of my front end I am getting a knocking sound around the right wheel. I don't think it's the shock. I am not sure how to diagnose this type of problem. Any info would be appreciated.

What model atv? How many miles are on it?

If you can find someone to help you, have them push down while your looking down below.

Also see if you can support it off the tires and wiggle up and down each tire/wheel to see if its more noticable while suspended

Is it 2 wheel drive or 4. Sounds like it is the wheel bearing if it is 2 wheel drive.

It is a 2001 Honda 350 es with 4000 miles. When I suspend it and wiggle the tire it feels loose

I would suppose your due for a bushing replacement.

If it is loose, the wheel bearing is most likely bad
It is a double bearing

Hopefully it has not wollered out the spindle where the outer part of the bearing rests
