Maybe i worry to much but today while i was moving my quad around i noticed a noise. I was pushing my quad in nuetral while it was in 4 wheel drive (motor was off) and i notice a popping/cluncking kinda coming from front end. I pushed it both forward and backwards and noticed it. I then put it in 2 wheel drive and tried again. No noise in 2 wheel drive at all. Put it back in 4 wheel drive and the noise is back. I then started the quad and tried using low and reverse and i could kinda feel it on the floor boards when it made this noise. The noise is not that loud. When quad is running i could feel it more then hear it. never did any higher speed runs. This was all done just moving it around a garage. I have the stock tires on so its very easy to push around. Does anyone have any ideas or can someone with a renegade or outty with stock tires (something easy to push around) please try this and let me know if they notice anything. thank you.

I lifted it up on the atv lift and tried both 2 and 4 wheel drive and i cant notice it at all. tried holding both front wheels and they locked up instantly.

I had a similar problem with my rinny, but it was in the back, it was a cv joint that was destroying itself due to a lack of grease. So you might check your cv.
