1500 CLUNKING NOISE UPDATE

[Trailrider1961]

My dealer fixed mine.

How what was the fix

Has anyone had the "clunk" noise with aftermarket axles? I have the Thumper Fab long travel kit with axles but don't have a lot of miles on it yet.

I'm interested in this as well. Ive been following along and so far I don't have the issue. I did put exit shocks on it. It's not near as stiff as stock. I like it.

I'm thinking long travel might be the answer. It changes the geometry just a tad. It may help. Does anyone have the long travel and the clunk?

i’m no mechanic but that sounds like driveline angle issues to me if it goes away with the rear loaded with weight. i will be picking up my 25 within the next few days.

Turn up the music. It’s nothing that’ll ever cause you to have to walk. I went through 3 sets of axles and now the rears are locktite inner and outer. F’ the guy that’s going to try get it apart! lol.


3500*km on the last fix. It’s perfect.

Front end is wearing out now. lol. Ball joints and shock bushings.

is it the 24’s and 25’s with this issue? dealers giving me 2 years warranty out the door…..sounds like i may want a couple more years. hope like hell i didn’t make a mistake, my 22 xp NS Ult was rock solid.

This is too. But way better. This is in no way anything that would cause you to walk!

I was absolutley blown away by the difference in the machines based of the time i spent looking it over and the short test drive time. i’m pumped to get it!! The XP is loaded in the trailer and i’m just waiting for the call that my new XD is ready to go. appreciate this site and all the members!

I don’t think weight makes a difference. I’ve had 4 full size passengers, and I mean full size! 2-30qt yeti style coolers full, spare tire, headache rack with accessories, my rear bumper is heavy with the winch, (2) 3 gallon rotopax full of gas, (1) 2 gallon rotopax with water, hi lift jack, plus some miscellaneous and I still clunked. Used more fuel than normal.

I spoke to my dealer yesterday on the multiple issues we have with our machine. He stated they have a few long travel units with the clunk noise so it may just be a matter of time/miles before I hear it. As someone stated above, my 2021 Ranger Crew with portals and 35-inch tires was a quality piece. We are really questioning our decision on this purchase. So many quality issues but hopefully we can work through them.

Licensed dining. Sounds fun.
