    How many times has it happened ?? I had a rock or something get stuck in between the brake caliper and the wheel and it sound like everything was coming a part . When it happened I stopped , backed up looked around didn't see anything and it was fine the rest of the day. later when i was washing it i noticed rub marks on the inside of the wheel where something had been in the and scraped the inside of the wheel .

    Sounds like it maybe could be the brake caliper sticking. On my first rzr I had a problem with a caliper sticking. From the factory the caliper slides were not lubricated on 1 caliper. I took the slides apart cleaned them up with Emory cloth and lubricated them with brake grease. I checked the other 3 and they were fine. I actually never felt it dragging I noticed it from the brake pads wearing uneven.

    Try jacking it up and spinning the wheels. A broken cv or axle will feel the same way but hitting a bump would not fix that problem. Hitting a bump would cause a caliper to unstuck though.

    Does kinda sound like front break Trouble

    I have seen-em stick, Drag what-ever

    Like Crazy said jack it up and check each wheel out

    Will pull to one side if tire not inflated all the same as well

    Had big rock get between CV joint and Frame on time pulled like hell to that side, but did not make any-noise

    pretty hard to hear it if it did, cause of all the racket these things make

    EPL This has happen only once..I'm going to take CW /BL'S advice..pull the wheels and do some inspecting for foreign objects. Change the oil look for parts..ck for a broken CV and hopefully runner...this scouting trip to Hat Creak I will only have the wife...the sh $$$ part is it ruined a new set of Mongrels. ..Dam it...

    Just wondering Rick Did You check Wheel alignment?

    They are not like a regular Car

    I think the fronts toe-out and the rears toe in, at least on the older ones they do

    Before you take it all apart

    Put n on a flat surface where you can stand a ways from it and eyeball it

    Can use a Tape to measure it as well

    Hope this helps
