Front end CLUNK!

[Boston801]

Well, I went out to the garage this morning and gave the sway bar a good pull all different ways and that thing is solid.

I would probably give up as well, but after just owning this brand new unit a month, it needs to be addressed especially with how much they cost. If I wanted to settle for an obnoxious popping sound I would’ve bought a CFMoto.

So did anyone find the fix for this issue? I have a 2025 ADV with 350 miles on it, started doing this clunking in the front end about 50 miles ago. Not sure what the issue is, checked everything in the front end and no problems of anything be loose.

It’s a joke you spend 50K on a new sxs and you get stupid shit like this in just a few hundred miles!

Help would be appreciated.

Mine was the steering rack. It was replaced in February of last year. Drove it in Colorado on the rocks all summer and no noise other than occasionally I would bottom a shock out. Seems that a large number have bad racks.

I believe this topic was already discussed however, I can't seem to find it. I'll be bringing my machine to the dealer to have the clutch kit installed and mentioned to them about a clunking noise in the front end.

To better explain, when I back out of my garage I get the clunk 99% of the time. Also, it sometimes occurs when turning. I want to say when turning hard, but can't 100% narrow it down to say it only happens when turning hard..

For anyone who's had this same issue any information is greatly appreciated. I have complete confidence in my dealership as they've been great so far and I'm sure they'll be able to address the problem however, I just need some idea(s) of what to expect. Thanks in advance.

I was having clunking or banging going threw moguls on rough roads or trails so I had the nitrogen in all shocks checked, one front was empty other side had a little the back were not full but more than front refilled them clunk is gone, I had 150 lbs put in each one with schrader valves for easy fill and check.

Glad that worked for you. I just did the same and still have it.

How many miles did you have on yours before the steering rack acted up with these sounds?

Well, I just scheduled to drop my rig off at the Dealer on Monday. Hopefully they can figure it out. If they are indeed able to find out what’s going on, I will be sure to update all of you so other people can find a potential solution to this problem.
