Prairie 360 squeal in front end
2007 model. Has a squeal that seems to be coming from left front. Sorta like a bearing squeal. Sound changes when suspension flexes going over a bump. If a bearing, where are they located and how easy to change? Anything else that could cause it? It squeals in 2wd. I've only ridden it twice and don't know if t also squeals in 4wd.
i just bought this ATV. It is in excellent shape and looks like it has never been in the mud.

Bearings are where you would expect, in the hub, just behind the brake disc. Jack the machine up on the frame under the front diff, and see if there is play in the bearings by rocking the top and bottom of the wheel. There can also be play in ball joint and track rod ends so check visually where the play is. Haven't done it on a Prairie, but KLF wheel bearings are fairly easy to replace, and I expect the Prairie to be no more difficult. If the wheel bearing is OK check the brake caliper, if a bike has stood for a while the piston or caliper sliders can seize.
