IMG 4344 IMG 4346 IMG 4347 @joeymt33 @CumminsPusher @snuffnwhisky @Delton I have a squeak that is about to drive me crazy. It seems to be coming from the drive shaft in the front. It starts to squeak after it warms up. It seems to squeak every time the shaft rotates. I have sprayed wd40 with no luck. I figured members on here will have a better idea of how to fix it than some dude at the dealer that doesn't even ride and gets all of his info out of book. Lol

Can you put it on blocks and try it? Maybe then you can isolate the problem quicker.


CP: I've been saying that since that jack wagon was picking Legos from his turds:)

I was planning on doing that. If I get time tomorrow I will. I'll have to double check but it don't squeak hardly at all when in 4wd or going down hill in 2wd.

Front differential is full of clean gear lube correct? No water or low lube?

Have u lubed the a arm bushings? Does it do it bouncing on it? Can u slide the driveshaft boot back and check for grease? Wheel bearings, ball joints, brake pads?

When in 4wd the axles put load against the a arm and all. Might change or eliminate noise.

It's not the bushings, quiet when bouncing not bearings joints or pads. I haven't pulled back the boot though.
I bought the 4wheeler brand new and I have put about a 150 miles on it.
