2016 can am outlander axles issue

Hey guys,
I bought a new outty last November and I use it a lot for work and towing. As of late, whenever I turn one way or the other, this loud clank noise comes from both the rear and front areas.
My guess is the axles were never greased? Or the CV joints?
Curios to see if anybody else had this issue. And what they found?

Thanks in advance.

Interesting ATV

I'm a long time Polaris owner. I have a 2012 500 Sporty and a 2004 700 Sporty along with an Artic Cat 366.

I use them for hunting on my lease. My brother calls me from Connecticut and tells me a story of a friend of ours in the car biz that has a franchise called Hisun atvs.

He had a left over 2015 700 he needed to sell to get off his floor plan. 7 miles, brand new.

My brother is all effusive saying it looks like his own blue and yellow limited 500 Sportsman and how he'd buy it blah blah blah.

So for the helllll of it, I offered $3500 for it. He said he was going to try 1 more auction then get back to us.

Well he gets back to us and I offer $3500 again and Do the deal @ $3600.

I figure I can't go wrong @ that price. Chinese made, plant in Texas where they are assembled and distributed.

Does anyone have anything on these bikes ? What should I expect ?

2017 sportsman 570

I have a sportsman 570 with power steering. After glancing off a tree I replaced the tie rod
it had a small bow in it . The problem is now the power steering is grinding, is there a fix for this or am I on the hook to replace the power steering box.

any one have this problem. The tire is fine no damage to the plastics. It's hard to believe that such a small bump could cause this power steering problem.

under 100 kms on it

RZR Wheels on Sportsman?!?!

Hi, I recently got a set of 2016 RZR wheels and tires and I'm going to put them on my 2002 Sportsman 500 HO. I got a set of 1.5' wheel spacers and everything fits nicely. My questions is, it seems like the RZR rims take a bigger wheel stud then the 3/8 wheel stud on that are on the wheel spacers. I got 3/8 lug nuts that seem to sit nicely on the rims once you center the holes on the spacer stud. Is it safe to run the 3/8 wheel stud, or should I replace them with 12mm wheel stud if thats the correct size for 2016 rzr. Thank you!!

Outlander stalls after a few mins.

I have a 2012 outlander 500xt. It's takes a few minutes to start up. While it's running the rpm goes up/down and than quad stalls. Once I get on and ride it's fine but sometimes I feel like it's loses power. I can't figure out what's wrong. Any ideas on where to start??

2016 Scrambler 1K

My buddy is putting his scrammy up for sale. Only reason for sale is not getting out enough to use it. The times we have ridden it has been every bit of what it should be without any hiccups. Washed and detailed after every ride before it was stored in his garage. I ride hard but not abusively, and compared to me this thing was honestly babied. If you want a new scrammy without the sticker shock, take a look at it.
