I got my 700 sportsman last fall and went riding a few weeks later and started hearing some pinging noises, ( Just a little pinging ) and as I went riding more it got louder. All of my riding buddies said that they heard that the 700 made noises like that, so I didn't pay it no mine,so last weekend I was putting in my new winch,looking for the hot wire to hook up to my battery and I notice that the bolt on my left rear Stablizer link was really loose and sticking up about an inch and had NO BUSHING and the other side looked find. As any body had a problem like this?
I'm afraid that I may have damage my rear suspension. I don't see any thing wrong down there,But I want to be on the safe side, So if any body has any info I can use, like what to look for, that would be great ,thanks.

Post some PICS 700-B!

 

Well here is some of his pics. Can you guess what was missing and what he had to replace?













Good fix 700B!

Anyone else experience this? All that rattling was believed
to be NORMAL. We believe he was missing the rubber bushing
from factory. Please check yours if you have from 2007 to newer
Sportsmans.
