2005 sportsman 400 im hearing some growling in front end changed lube there was no metal on drain plug so to speak of not sure were to start

 

CV Joints, brakes and wheel bearings are next to be checked.

 

ok i was thinking of going thru the front end i will start out at brakes and work in thanks for the reply

 

Do the front wheels feel like there pulling left or right, do the front wheels feel like there engaging on there own when the 4x4 is in the off position, could just be a piece of rock stuck in around the brakes, or a ripped cv boot that got mud inside it but you will feel that pull and your sure you have the correct oil in the front diff.

 

thanks for the reply i will work on it this weekend i will post the outcome has i go thru the front end. Good thing my 500 is still going strong with the 28" swamp witch tires

Have you upgraded your cv joints? Tires like that can be a real strain on stock parts. I've seen it recommended to buy aftermarket like gorilla axles, to take the strain of the larger tire.

 

thanks for this share man!
