I have like a clicking in the rear of my Mav. It there when I turn and go straight at low speed. Anyone have this issue. I have the extended warranty is this something they would cover or no? Thanks

 

[WVXRS]

Maybe a CV

 

[LBSwank]

I agree does it do it in reverse?

 

[desertdog]

Is it coming from the rear diff or just one side by the wheels?

 

[heavysledz]

we need more info.....does the clicking increase in parallel to speed? Does it do it if you tap or ride the brakes? Is it worse when turning or going straight?

 

[Benzo]

yes extended warranty will cover it

 

[C.Moore]

Extended warranty won't cover anything axle or cv related .. Well my dealer wouldn't cover a cv .. Could be a u joint as well .. Either way it shouldn't be much

 

[RTB]

You really need to keep the rear drive shafts greased in these with some good quality grease after every ride.

my RPM1 guide says drive axles are covered but I guess it all depends on how it broke or what happen and what warranty u have and what service advisors u know

I will have to try and listen to it better in the morning and try different things. I grease it every ride. I have around 1300 miles on it. I haven't been able to get anyone to drive it yet so I can try to pin point where it is a little better. At first I thought it was only there when I made right hand turns but then I noticed it there when I was going straight too. I had heard it at one point before and tried finding it after a ride and it had quit making the noise but now it's there all the time. I will try to get some more info tomorrow! Thanks everyone!

Starting to sound like a CV joint but it would be much louder at a full turn then while going straight.....you say you grease your drive drive shaft every ride.....do you pull the interior panels or skid plate and get the one on the front U-Joint of the read drive line?

 

[Avadog]

How do you grease the drive shaft? what parts of the shaft get greased?

 

[heavysledz]

I'm referring to the drive axle between the gearbox and the differential. The U-joints each have one zerk fitting on both ends of the rear axle and the front axle has 2 on the rear and one on the front.

 

[Dittrich08]

There are grease fittings on the u joints. I don't pull the interior to grease them. I manage to get it turned just right and reach in from in front of the passenger rear tire and grease the rear joint and then the other one takes a little more work to get on the fitting but manage to do it from the back. At first I figured it was an axel going bad but I never really hear them click when going straight on other wheelers and side by sides I had so wasn't sure.

 

[heavysledz]

hmmm....didn't think you could get to it that way. I will have to give it a try....thanks for the tip.

 

[Dittrich08]

It's not easy and can be a pain but gets old pulling them push pins just to grease it too!

 

[heavysledz]

can you access it if you pull the skid plate? The stock skid takes like 2 minutes to pull off and put back on....

 

[Dittrich08]

I'm thinking you can pulling the skid. It's usually the spur of the moment rides that I don't have a lot of time and just end up reaching it without pulling anything apart. I just have a pistol grip grease gun with a flexible hose so only takes one hand to hold it and pump it. It would probably be impossible to do it if it's not a pistol grip or battery or pneumatic grease gun.

 

[ogduner]

every ride seems like overkill,where is the grease going?

 

[Dittrich08]

There is still grease in them but would just rather be safe. A lot of my rides around usually around 100 miles and a lot of times water comes out of them.
