Hey guys,I have a 98 foreman with this poping noise in the front when you turn the wheels.I have narrowed it down to the cv joints going into the front diff.You can feel the pop & vibration in the joints if you turn the wheels sitting still & can hear it when you are slightly moving & barely turn the wheel.Any Ideas what this can be? Any help will be appreciated.MOON

I'm checking the joints.It sounds & feels more like the noise is where the joint goes into the diff.Where did you get your axles from just in case?MOON

noise is in front diff.I'm going to service it & see what happens.

The best I can tell is the limited slip isn't slipping.When I hold one wheel & turn the other I get this noise.I serviced it with synthetic oil & friction additive so we will see what happens.No metal or water in old fluid.

I still have the noise. It's not the joints.I am thinking of getting the DGL.I'm trying to find the best price.Good luck with your noise.MOON

I just changed my wheel bearing the other day, So i now know that it's not the wheel bearings. I'm gonna pull mine out this weekend and check the differential and other stuff, If i find the problem I'll update ya.

eThanks.LMK,Moon

The noise I have is in the frint diff.The clutches are not slipping as they should.I just have not replaced it yet.They will slip when in a hole or bind but when just riding & a slight move of the handlebars they dont release as they should.I serviced it and have driven about 30 miles.It seemed to be quiet at the end of my last ride.I will check again & probably service it again.Moon.
