Hey guys, any thoughts or pointers for my issue? Was riding this weekend and every time I got on three wheels and the visco lok would try and engage it made a god awful clanking noise like it was trying to engage but would never "catch". Tried it at different RPMS and what not just couldn't get it to engage. Anyone run across this or have an idea of where my problem is?

Thanks!

Have you ever pulled your front end apart? CVS diff etc ?

I haven't.

Just went out and turned the wheel all the way and was able to wiggle the inner cv joint on the driver side a bit. Maybe an 1/8 of inch at the most. Not sure if that is just normal wear, passenger side didn't move at all.

How did you get the qe in the front with out changing parts out? The only reason I ask is because if you don't reinstall the passenger side correctly/fully you'll snap the tip off your inner CV joint and it won't work anymore

I had the dealer put in a brand new QE when I bought the machine. The whole case and insides.

I watched a video from super Atv on how to install the passenger axle and it appears to be installed correctly. No slack or wiggle.

I am thinking I might have to jack it up and hold the tires and test. Think that will help at all?

When mine is in a bad bind it will make the grinding noise but still work

mmm, both times I was in deep ruts practically on my side so all the weight was on one side and it would grind but I didn't want to break anything so i didn't push it all that much.

I found this thread on another forum talking about the Visco-lok Diff.

Have you checked your fuse?
