It's the traction loading and unloading while on a medium to high grip surface. When tension builds up during a turn, and then one wheel looses grip there is a backlash in the drive parts and that makes the noise. The part tolerances on these machines are large. You might be able to make the noise lessen with brand new parts, but it will soon return with a little run-in. I have actually watched my machine spit out a little grave the same time the noise happens in a very slow turn. Go out on ice/snow or mud and make the same turn,,,, no noise. The only way to eliminate the noise would be to custom build parts with MUCH smaller tolerances.
Thoughts On SuperATV Rhino 2.0 Axles - Knocking Already
So a few weeks ago on the RMAX FB group there was a guy with an RMAX4 that had just installed Rhino 2.0 axles and was having a CV knocking on his rear passenger side. One other person also chimed in with a video of their Rhino 2.0 doing the same thing. I had chimed in on that post saying that I had just installed them without any knocking issues. I would put a link to that video but it was a FB upload not a Youtube so I couldn't figure a way to do it. But three rides after my installation I am now having the same issue on my drivers side rear axle. I already changed the passenger side twice because the first one I put in had a hole in the inner boot right out of the box. SuperATV was awesome and warrantied it right away but now this on the drivers side. I am tired of changing axles and not being able to ride. I haven't contacted them on this one yet due to my work schedule lately but here is a video of me going down my street. You can hear it distinctly though. I'm not sure if they had received a bad batch or what but so far I am not impressed with these axles.
