jack it up and see if you can mimic the sound using the brakes and you should be able to tell if it's the slide locker or the axle . put it in 2wd and get it spinning and give a little brake . should be able to tell if its diff or cv by standing behind it while trying. the slide sleeve linkage needing adjustment is common but you sayings it doesit in bothand its quueter in turf points to an axle for me.

Well that doesn’t sound good, do you know if it’s very expensive?

not sure in 1000 axles but all it is its not broke yet just close iv put 300 miles on 1 popping on my 700. still going strong. its kinda like a dry socket us the best way to describe it. i know i can get an eastlake axle for 69 bucks on Amazon for my 700. its about as good maybe a hair better than stock.

This is a 2020 that had 242 miles on it when I bought it, now it’s up to around 300 miles. I watched the videos and decided I’m not a mechanic

Yea definitely not hard to change. Save a few hundred dollars over taking it to a dealer

Did you do the rear diff adjustment in the video?

300 miles is not likely an axle problem. The diff adjustment costs nothing and I'll go about 99% it'll be the fix for your problem.

It’s not uncommon to have the cables out of adjustment from the factory. I’d make the dealer correct it since it is so new.

it’s not something that is normal on a P1k5.
I live 2 miles to the Arkansas state line and the dealer is in Little Rock, Ar about a 4 hour drive.
