A buddy of mine is having a problem with his 08 800 so I was hoping that someone on here could help. Here goes.
Earlier this year he was pulling some fallen trees out of the bush with his atv. It bounced up and down a couple of times and bang! He busted his plunge joint( Hope that is what it is called) at the rear. So the splined part of the drive shaft broke on the rear beside the differential. His dealership replaced it under warranty. Since that incident, he has has babbied this machine. However, he has broken the same joint 2 more times, both on the left side. He has also now broken the plunge joint on the right side again at the rear differential. He cannot travel 100 miles without it breaking. He had a Highlifter 2inch lift kit installed which his dealer said was the problem. Can anyone tell us what is going on. They removed the lift kit. Is there a problem with the differential? Should we have replaced the drive axles as well and not just the plunge joint?
Thanks for the help.
