heres the deal, I have a 2011s orange madness I put adjustable lift on it, set on 1 inch due to the crap axles the 11 has. I put 30 doms and Hiper wheels, tusk 1.25 spacers
all the way round to get the width back that i lost from lift. I got it out playing around the other day and noticed that it was acting like something binding in the front end like the brakes were on.
The wheel bearings are decent very lil slop, the cvs have slight bind at full droop. bushings have lil slop but nothing they all dont have. what ever it is makes the supspension hold down likes its compressed.
I am thinking maybe a sticking caliper??? any inupt?

I would bet its cv bind. Jack your machine up and try to rotate each wheel to see what's binding. If one is bound up the unbolt one end of the shock and lift that wheel up a little. It will be pretty easy to tell if it's the cv binding up. You mentioned that there is a "little" cv binding. A little is still too much. You don't want to ever feel cv bind whatsoever at full droop. You will destroy a cv that way only options are put limiting straps on or maybe drill a couple new holes in the lift kit to raise the wheel up enough to eliminate binding.

My 570 has done this also had a lift kit on it thought it was cv bind took it off done it twice last weekend. Feels like front end is bound up can't turn feel the binding through steering wheel.Usually does it after coming to a complete stop. Put it in reverse back up couple feet then its ok.

thats exactly how mine is i can feel it through the steering wheel usually caliper pull to one side if its one or the other. ine dont pull just acts like your putting the brakes. when it does it you can put in neutral and cant hardly get it to roll , once the suspension frees back up it seems fine. I have checked everything and cant seem to find the prob.

U can give it more throttle and let off and it slows down quick with out touching the brake... I need some help here guys I think it's transmission or front diff
