is it a click tick or more like a clunk?, if it's more like a clunk jack it up and at the top of the tire move it in and out and watch the upper control arm where it connects to the frame, my bushing are worn out but only one side.[/color][color="#FF0000"]Its more like a ticking/clicking ...bout 3-4 clicks when pulled up and then it does it again when i let it down.It does it more so when i pull up on the right side of the wheeler by the front bumper.I jacked it up and everthing is tight and looks good.Bearings are fine i only have 160 miles on it.
another possibility is weeds or some junk wrapped around the front drive shaft where it comes out of the motor. i had this too.Nope

or maybe even in the shock/spring you could have a blown shock and it's sticking while it moves. get a friend to lift the quad while you watch the shock closely it should move smoothly if it twitches or jumps while moving i'd say that's where the noise is coming from so take the shocks off and confirm. or could be just dirt in the spring causing it to stick and jump.I just put these cte shocks on a month or so ago.I really dont think this noise is coming from the shock. i checked all bolts and nuts.could also be a bushing somewhere that's sticking, try sparing every bushing in the front end with wd-40 or something similar go for a short ride then repeat. Dont think the 40's gunna work on this one

So there's my thoughts of what came to mind off the top of my head. It could be one of these or none
I appreciate your thoughts.
