Went for the first ride of the year this weekend in the Uintas . I came back and was doing some checks on the

trooper and noticed some looseness in the right rear wheel bearing . I checked the left rear and it is tight.

Looking at the parts breakdown I don't see any preload adjustment capability . Iam wondering if I should

just drive it and see if it gets more loose or do you think I have a bad bearing .I only have 245 km on it .

Also wondering if anyone has had any engine oil leak issues . I noticed a few drops on the skid plate right

below the crank pulley. I cleaned it off expecting to see more oil drops ,rode the rest of the weekend no more

leak, very strange ,oil leak are usually not intermittent any thoughts ? thanks

No adjustments on th rear wheel bearings. It's nothing more then a double roller bearing not more then about 2" long total. I'm amazed that it holds up at all. It just has no width to it. The stress on the bearing has to be way up there and a bearings life span is directly related to the load put on it so I don't expect them to last real long. Also check the thread "Rear wheel misalignment issues" (same Joyner forum). There are other things that can make the back wheels loose.

Sorry, I said roller bearing, it's a double ball bearing. That's worse.

      When we first heard the noise, we immediately stopped driving it...at first we thought it might be a linkage issue, but after further inspection looks like the sound/jolting is coming from the rear diff. Took a video below...
      Anyone know what is creating the diff to skip/jump like this? We drained the diff oil and didn't look terrible, no metal.
      Other info that may be useful:
      1400 miles on it
      Recently tightened the E brake
      P.s. never posted on this forum before, let me know if the video does not work

But as anything outside and 18 years old it needs seats ! The thing I have found wrong mechically the Diff. Lock Acturtor is broken where it mounts to the bracket ( partly why Im here ) . Hoping someone here can help  !

If anyone reads this and has or knows of any of threse parts PLEASE HOLLER !!

      Greetings, Can anyone advise the best place to order aftermarket and replacement parts for Articcat ATVs?

      Unfortunately my rear Diff housing cracked on my 2013 and I need to replace it or find a good used complete differential.  I think the same one was used from 2013-2016?  Any help or referrals appreciated.  Thanks, Gary  (949)370-2575 (in UT)

      Has anyone purchased a rear differential from Alibaba, they want $432.00 for diff and $35.00 for shipping. This would be a great deal if I can trust them any thoughts?
