What is the maximum angle that the p700 axles can go to without causing any binding in the CV joints?

Hey bob. Never put an angle meter on it before but i think the stocks are a few degrees less than the rhinos and all balls.
I know stock shock plus 2.5 inches length wise(eye to eye) and still should be fine after that your probably going to bind at full droop

I installed Can-Am Commander Max shocks only p700. The black spring ones. And got about 3.5 inches of lift on the front and 4.5 inches on the rear. The rears spin without any funny noise or feeling at full droop. But the front has a slight thump thump feeling when tires are rotated. Thinking the CV bearings are binding up. Just looking for a second opinion on my conclusion.

Thats what it sounds like might have to use limiter straps your feeling each time the axle hits the cut out for the ball . 6 bumps on 1 rotation?

Thank you. That's what I thought. Already planned on getting them but was wanting to make sure my findings were on track.

Yeah seen where you added them the other day on Facebook. Wasnt sure on the eye to eye though seems like the rear can take more lift cause the diff width difference

Yeah the back seemed fine. But the fronts are a different story!
