Developed a clanking -banging noise in my front suspenion on a ride last weekend.brought atv home -jacked it up and removed front wheels. Found problem right away..The lower bushing in front shocks have worn and the shock is banging when the supension moves up and down..The shock has a metal bushing that the mounting bolt goes through.To make it simple it is like a 1/4 inch bolt through 3/8 bushing.. the metal bushing is mounted in the rubber grommet in the bottom of the shock..P.S both shocks are wore the same..

 

Can you feel it in the handle bars? How many miles & hours.

 

Yes you could feel it in the handlebars when you hit a bump..The atv has 2850 miles and 210 hours. I have the five year warrenty so the dealer is going to replace the front shocks..

 

You know my machine has this clank I thought I was just bottoming the front shocks out.I will have to look into this shock bolt too thanks for the heads up.almost 3k miles with 210 engine hours and it an 2010Now thats a rider!

 

Just dropped the atv off at my dealer.They are repacing front shocks,front ADC unit and rear axles..adc unit is noisy when coming to stop.(grinding noise) and rear axle are somewhat noisy.
