Can-am Front strut noise

[24nathan48]

Anyone out there having front strut noise on there can-am
its a clunking noise when you go over bumps
dealer says struts are fine

I've never had the front shocks make any sort of noise even when they were shot. I take it you had your dealer check it out? How many miles are on the quad and is it an 800 Outty? Is the winch mount lose? Tie rod ends clunking?

Martin farm told my buddy he needed new struts for noise.

Reason was when compressed ok but on extention clunked..

that sounds about right now that I think of it, it is on extention

its a 500xt with around 1000km on it

deal says won't replace under warranty even know it is a shock failure
got love the 3yr warranty

Both my 2009 500 xt's were making that clunk / weeze noise since new?

ya its the extesion of them clunking, you wont be happy with the price to replace them either so mabey ride it as long as u can.

I had the same type of noise on my 500 as well. Turned out to be a blown shock

I had the same problem with my 2009 outlander 500.it was a broken shock on the left side. replaced it, now less than 1000kms later it is clunking again, same side. I have had a severe wobble in the front end since the bike was new, which you only feel on a road at 30+ kms, so the service people couldn't feel it driving around there lot of course. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this to keep happening? Also I read that you can use a grizzly strut with a 2 inch lift kit instead of the stock can am one but is this really going to solve anything? The right side strut is just fine. I have 3500+kms on my bike.

My 07 500 XT sounds real bad in the winter but after it warms up no problem. We were doing trail work last fall and I was sure my struts were falling out of the machine. Spring no problem at all road all summer I have 5000 miles on it now
