Quick question- my dad changed wheel bearing in an 09 700 and thought that there was a problem with front end when it was put back together. When spinning right front wheel there seems to be a clicking sound coming from front diff that isnt there when you spin left front. On the differential, the drive shaft comes in on the right side and seems that it may be turning something internally making the clicking noise. When he called me questioning it, I jacked up the front of my '11 550 and experienced the same noise that he was describing from right front only also. Is this a normal noise?? Sounds like when you spin the wheel, that the half axle spins something internally in the differential. Doesn't seem to be binding or anything just don't want to do any major damage!!

 

I just did my front wheel bearings on my 700 and thought the same thing. The right front wheel is the main drive wheel so that is normal to hear and feel something.

 

Thanks for the quick reply...that is what we were thinking and then when it was the same on both machines, we felt better about it! Thanks!

 

Now I'm gonna have to jack up my 08 Grizzly 700 and see for my self !!...but that sounds normal for the unlocked differential, turn the key on and push the "diff lock" button, that will get both whells turning.

 

I am referring to the quad being in 2 wheel drive! I would still like to know what results you get!!
