Hey New grizz owners, Just curios, If I get on the brakes hard, I get a clunking noise, coming from near the footpegs on the right side, anyone else get this? It does not happen with a smooth pull.

Yes Mine does the same thing. Here is my take on it: There is a ton of reciprocating mass ( main driveshaft and 2 half-shafts , rims and tires)that is rotating that the little brake (located on the drive shaft) must stop. If you have a surface that allows one wheel to lock up when braking hard the differential chatters as it does so. Does not happen when slowing to a stop , mostly happens to me when boogeying into a corner a bit too fast and having to nail the brakes. Annoying a bit but thats about it.

Brad
