Hello everyone. New to this site.
I have recently bought a 2008 700 Rhino. My rhino is stock. No lift kits or big tires. I have noticed that when the rhino is in a bind and I start to back up the rear end makes a loud pop when I first accelerate. It has only happened about 3 times. All 3 times have happened when the front of the rhino is facing downhill and I start to reverse. Should I be concerned or is this normal?

 

I'd be concerned!

 

Mine was doing that also when i got it new and i took it back because the axel worked its way out and fell out of the housing when i kept riding. Dealer said there is a C-clip that came off inside rear gear housing. Dont know if this will help you out or not but it was my experience with popping rear end.

 

Thanks for the help. I have recently noticed that the rear end popping only happens when I am too quick on the gas. If I wait until I feel reverse actually kick in then it won't pop when I start accelerating in reverse. Is this caused by unwanted slack in something?
