Has anyone ever had a front driveshaft yoke get extremely loose on the front pinion shaft that comes out of diff? Last week I jumped my 06' 500 (way too high)and now the front yoke and both front axles have alot of slop in them at the cv cups where axles go into the diff. and ther is a slight clunk sound when I ride which seems to be coming from front end. AWD still works. I have checked a few other used Sportmans at dealers which all had more miles than mine and the drivlines were all tight ....like mine was a few weeks before this happened. Any ideas?

 

i have the same thing,sport,i've had it for years.mine is tight PARELLEL with the roll pin,i'f your moving the yoke up and down when the roll pin is horizontal its acting like a hinge and mine has been loose for e'ons..........don't care.

 

any oil leakage? maybe bearing got damaged?? hard to tell, but if the case isnt cracked thats a good thing.

 

No oil leaks from any of the seals and no cracked case. Don't really know what's wrong. Won't be going on any big rides till at least I find what's causing the slight clunk sound.

 

I have seen yokes loose like that from the factory. We 4 scramblers with in my circle and half had the loose yokes.

 

Did the loose yokes cause any kind of noise like a broke joint or knock?
