Sounds like cv joint. Is the boot torn or did you get water in the boot?

 

No not torn and may have gotten wet but hard to do that if the boot is intact

Loose brake calipers can make that noise.

 

The famous axle tick. When I had my 08 800 all of my stock axles ticked (when I had it in 2013) lol. This was shortly after getting into crawling and sometimes binding them up. Number one reason I've heard for the cause is when the boot gets a small tear and dirt or water gets in there and you lose the grease. I just bought all new axles and kept them as spares. Speaking of which I need to pick up some spares for my S.... Good luck! Axle tick always had me paranoid lol.

 

Well when I get ready to replace them I will just buy rhinos and be done with it

If you lightly apply the brakes, does it stop clicking? Brake pad rattle will do this and will drive you crazy. You can adjust the pads and it will stop. Frank (FJK) has a small video somewhere to show how to do it. I have had this problem and it was an easy fix. Mine was the brakes. Hope yours is this simple as well.

 

Took the wheels off today.....calipers aren't loose and no visible tears in the CV boots....the search continues

If you grab the axles can you move them back and forth, up and down, any direction? Are the brake pads loose?

 

Didn't see if the axles had any slop in them but the calipers are tight....the pads float so they will move regardless

The calipers should have a little movement just not enough to rattle. It doesn't take much. Have you put the RZR on jack stands to see if the problem is there off the ground or at full droop?

 

Not yet....I think a lot of my problem is the previous owner wasn't much on preventive maintenance so I probably just need to start replacing stuff as I go.....it is after all a 10' model

Here is a video of the brake adjustment. It may not be the problem but it is cheaper than throwing parts at it. Just a little movement will make the rattle. The pads have also been known to rattle in the calipers.

 

OK thanks

That's very simple

I had this happen with brand new DHT highlifter axles on my XP900. It was the CV joint. It was a design issue they fixed very quickly. I sent them back and got brand new ones shipped at no cost. I have some very hard miles on these ones now and never any ticking.

 

I know this is an older thread but anyone with clicking noises that arent caliper or joint related, try tightening the castle nut on the end of your axles. They have cotter pins through them but somehow mine backed off just enough that the splines were making noise:

 

There's a good possibility it's the axle hub bearing

 

I thought so too, but the wheel didnt wobble at all off the ground. Can it make that sound before it gets sloppy? After I snugged the nut it didnt make any noise at all.

 

The outer brake shoe moving is most commonly the source of the noise.

Two solutions, one fairly long term and one permanent.

The first is to take a pair of scissors and a utility knife and cut into a pop can. Cut 8 strips 1/4" wide and about 1" long.

The outer brake pad is mounted on two pins from the caliper. At the top pin slip one of the strips between the top of the pin and the shoe and the back of the pin and the shoe. On the bottom pin, between the bottom of the pin and the shoe and the back of the pin and the shoe. You will find the movement of the shoe on the pins greatly decreased, and thus the noise stops.

Some Polaris machines have a spring over the pins and between the inner and outer brake shoes. You can get them from Polaris or at a hardware store carrying Hillman hardware. I'll try to post the PN info in a bit. Too cold and dark to walk down to the shop.

Mines been clicking for awhile now only when I turn right whick is where it's clicking at and only when it's just my in there alone. Mine is the axel. I got a spare and driving on. But I did manage to break a front axel some how.

M,

Something tells me you should check for brake shoe clicking before looking to an axle.

Just wondering, what makes you certain its the axle?

Pirate

 

Got to agree with Pilot! My constant clicking was the rear brake pads. Did the aluminum strip trick and no more noise.

 

I had the same thing happen on my sportsman a few years back and initially thought it was the axel but it was in fact the brakes. I didn't think the brakes could even make that noise!

 

Ken,

I've also found out from another member that you can get Hillman springs and put over the pad pins, and between the pads...and that is the end of that!

The springs are Hillman Item # 540278, #93

Here is a pic of a rear brake without springs:

Here is a pic of the rear brake after the springs are installed, two springs per caliper:

A permanent solution. As I understand it Polaris uses springs on a Ranger model. But I don't know which or have a PN. But they are more expensive than these!!

Pirate

 

Thanks, I'll try to locate some of those springs!

 

Watch this video and if your RZR is making a similar noise ... brake pads as described above are likely your problem.

 

Mine is only when I turn to the right making the right rear tire dig in the grass soon as I straighten up its fine and does not sound like video above. It's a perfect clicking noise to how fast I go
