Big Red, I have to say I have 2 of the 2024 ultimates, one is a crew the other is not. Both of these clunks like crazy. Hate it and won't let the dealer put lock tite on them as I am sure they will be next to impossible to work on in the woods 10 miles from nowhere.

I also have a 2025 3 seat ultimate, that clunks as well. I know, don't ask, why another one. I must have lost my mind. Nothing but trouble out of the 24's. The 3 seater has had the transmission replaced at 600 miles and the crew needs a transmission but Polaris says it heavier and that's why it slips. Thought that's why they put the 110hp in it. Guess not. Now I see they have a mountaineer version with a lower gear ratio. May help but who knows.

So mine is complicated. 3 separate sets of axles. Last ones were a different part number. Locktite inner and outer splines. No more clunk. So mine doesn’t clunk but was fixed by the dealer.

Mine had 2 sets of axles first set fixed the outer noise but not inner axle clunk so I called Polaris and they told me there is nothing to fix the problem since I had the updated axle so
I dealt with I for a month then called them again and got the
same guy at Polaris of coarse I got the same Response so that pissed me off so I called the dealer so they got ahold of polaris so I get the shim kit and another set of axles when
diff is cool it is better but when it warms up the clunk
is back !!

So far 65% percent of the XD's are "Clunkers"
NOT GOOD POLARIS!!

I have aftermarket axles with long travel and only 200 miles. I will let everyone know if I have it.

I have a 24 with around 600 miles, it doesn't clunk yet. I think they are all going to clunk eventually.

Just had mine in for service, door latch recalls, axle clunk this week.
They did the Polaris recommended lock tite fix.
Didn’t work. Noise is the same as it was.
