1500 CLUNKING NOISE UPDATE

[MSRanger]

I think installing a sound system with a good sub might be the surest fix!
I don’t hate the clunk but I just know it shouldn’t be there.
Still a smoother ride than others I’ve been in.

Good luck I have had 2 sets once for the outer spline noise fixed that but not the clunk took back polaris said add shims for backlash which was out of spec and another set of axles helped a little and I mean very little but it still needs a diff!!

When I first drove my Northstar I was really impressed how it was so much like a small suv or pick up.
Then I thought this cab is going to increase expectations over the non cab models as any slight noise will be amplified.
I don’t tolerate any strange noises in my suburban.
I think Polaris set itself up for failure with the cab as all theses clunking sounds probably have been there all along on non cab models.
Now they have to play engineering/mechanical catch up to their own over reach.
But I still love it even when it clunks.
My 50 cents.

I had XP 1000 northstar and that machine never clunked. The cab wasn’t sealed as tight as my XD, and my XD is a far better machine, minus the clunk. I just make sure to bring it up any time I talk to them. That way it’s mentioned in case it does leave me stranded.
