Does nyone have any trouble shooting information as to why MY Grizz is pulling hard to the left? I checked the frame a-arms etc nothing is bent. IT does it in both 2-wd and 4wd? Please help!
Jack the bike up and try and spin the tires.It could be your brakes are not releasing on that side or an axle trying to bind up some.Also make sure your tires are aligned right and your left tire isnt angled making it pull to the left also
Well I measured the front hub center to the rear hub center and there is no difference so I am assuming everything in straight. My toe in is out 0.35" is this bad, I will adjust tonight.
I will be jacking the unit up and checking things out in the wheels/hubs area for play wear. I am new to this, this is my first 4x4 quad, I was a die hard sport fan all my life!
If the toe in was only out that little then I dont see that being your problem.Its more than likely going to be in your brakes or cv axles or could be a wheel bearing as well
Well, I noticed a few things, jacked the bike up and spun the wheels, it seaams that there is some brake rub, but not excessive. When I held the top and bottom of the wheel and pushed back and fourth, there seems to be some play, although not excessive.
When I turn the wheels the outboard Cv turns with no problems, I can not hear any grinding etc, it seems to be the catching on the brakes?
Thought I'd chime in with some thoughts. First, is the front left hub fully dis-engaged? I am not familiar with the grizzly, have to ask. Second, if there is some brake drag, it will pull to that side. In the past, I have had brake calipers "stick" especially from sitting a long time. The fix for that can be easy, take the caliper off and using a c-clamp push the piston all the way in. Then put some wood in between (so the piston doesn't come flying out when you squeeze the brake slowly to bring the piston back towards its previous static position. It is good to work the pistons through their travel because it trues up the alignment and exercises the square 0-rings. A great time to inspect the components.
Concerning your wheel play, there is no doubt that a loose ball joint will force it to pull, question is "does it pull differently when under throttle application and change when off the throttle"? A major difference tells you that it is changing camber under load, usually the lower joint.
