I just bought a Pririe 300 4x4 a couple of weeks ago. Went on my first real ride this past weekend, and noticed little bit of a "chatter" sound coming from the front end while riding. It seemed to be only on acceleration. I was not riding hard or fast, as it's still in the famed "break in period", but when I accelerate it makes this chirping/light rattle sound. It's not really loud, but enogh to notice.

Is this the front chunk just running in a neutral mode? I'm pretty ignorant on 4x4's with limited slip operation.

Thanks.

ihave had the same problem. the front end bearing are moving in the steering knuckle. its a common problem and easily fixed under warranty. they end up using red locktite. hope this helps. rob
