Front end noise

Hey guys...just bought a 2012 570 and took it out for a drive today for the first time. It rode alright but have a rattle/crunchy/grinding noise that seems to be coming from the front driver side. Slow driving I don't hear it. About 10 mph it begins and gets louder as I go faster. Very distinct and loud at about 25mph. I have a 2012 XP 900 and bought the 570 for my son. Any ideas...I was thinking maybe a bearing. Emailed the former owner and he said he never heard it. Definitely something going on though. Thanks.

Jack up the RZR and start wiggling. Sometimes you need to remove a tie rod to see the slop in the A arm bushings or ball joints but give everything a once over. If I were to guess, a wheel bearing or a cv joint might be failing. These machines are fairly easy to work on and aftermarket parts are plentiful so most things can be taken care of in your garage or driveway. If this is a new to you machine, it's worthwhile to check everything.
