I'm looking for some advice on re-building my front axles on a 2002 Suzuki Quadrunner (ltf500f) My left front outer joint sounds like a popcorn machine when I make a sharp turn. I looked on Ronnies and they want $429 each for a complete shaft so that is out of the question! :aargh: Has anyone here fixed their shafts on an "as needed" basis? I generally use the quad to plow snow and for yard clean-up in good weather. I just recently put a set of ITP Mudlite XTR's on for plowing, so I'm sure they "helped" the shaft fail due to the extra stress from the added traction. I'd like to hear your story about re-building your axles. Thanks.

I would throw some gorilla's or tuners axles in to eliminate future problems. My .02 cents! But if you are wanting to just repair OEM, they have step by step instructions on rebuilding cv axles on youtube! That is how I learned to mess with mine.

Paul is the owner of the site, and he can get you a good price on aftermarket axles / OEM rebuild kits! Just tell him that Birddog4x4 sent you.

Looks like the outer cage cracked. I cut the boot clamps and slid the boot up the shaft to inspect it. The outer cage is broken into 2 peices. all the balls are still in place, thats definately the source of the noises. I greased the heck out of it and put some old style clamps back onto the boot. Looks like a rebuild is in order. :realmad: They don't look too hard to do, finding the right parts might be a challenge. Hopefully it makes it until spring. :skeptic:

Sorry, I wasn't sure how busy this forum was so I put it in the AG.

      1993 Suzuki King Quad 300 bucks and farts like crazy
      By hardcastle
      My friends KQ 300 starts fine and runs, as soon as you put it in gear and try to accelerate its bucks and farts like crazy, not moving... I cleaned carb and it worked good for 1 day... now back to same problem.... could it be such as a bent valve????

      2015 Suzuki Brute Force 300 will not idle...
      By Louznmemind
      Howdy y'all, I'm trying to fix a neighbors 2015 Brute Force 300. Came in with hard to start and won't idle except on choke issue. I pulled the carb and found the pilot jet as well as the emulsion tube partially clogged. Cleaned up everything, put it back together, still having issues...  It will start right up on choke and will also start off choke if you give it just a touch of throttle but it absolutely will not idle unless it's choked just a touch. Also, excuse my ignorance but I'm assuming the "dial" thingy attached to the carb that turns in and out is for setting idle??

      Looking to buy a new SUV
      By Gwbarm
      I have been exploring all the options available, so many, its hard to choose. I have kind of narrowed it down to the Honda Pilot, Subaru Outback, and Kind of looking at the Outlander, although its a little small,  the new one is nice looking. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or gripes with any of these rides. I have driven Jeeps for the past 25  years and they have been great, but their price point has gotten to high. Expieriences good or bad would be helpful. Thanks!

      2002 Quadrunner 250- Knackered cam and journal/"bearings", difference between 2001-2002 part and 2000 and earlier
      By kiriyaaoi
      Hello everyone, I just picked up an 02 LT-F250F the other day and have been in the process of tearing it down to fix some stuff- one of which was the cylinder base gasket leaking like a sieve. Well, I know why that is now, and I also discovered that someone had been in there before. I didn't take pictures, but it looks like it was probably run low on oil at some point, the cam journals and the "bearings" (for lack of a better term) in the head and the valve cover are totally wiped out, very deep grooves.  From what I know it's very difficult to repair aluminum in this way, so I'm trying to figure out where to go next.
       
      1. Have someone grind down the head and valve cover and fit actual bearings in since the aluminum is screwed, and have the cam ground down to match.  I have no idea what this would cost.
      2. Buy a replacement head+cam+valve cover.
       
      #1 I was hoping someone might have some advice on, but #2 seems like it'll (probably) be the more cost effective option.  However I'm running into some difficulty, it seems like the 2001 and 2002 models specifically use a different head part number,  11100-19B10, instead of  11100-19B01 like for all earlier models.  What exactly is the difference between them? There are obviously far more of the earlier heads because it ran for over 10 years.  Are they actually interchangeable? I've also noticed there are heads from the LT250EF that has 4 valve heads but also otherwise look identical.  Would those work as well possibly?  I'd like to not have to drop $500 on machine work or new heads on a $1300 quad that I'm already putting a bunch of new parts on.  Oh, and it has a new piston and the cylinder itself looks pretty good too, as I said someone was in here before me.
       
      Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. I'll post pics of the carnage tomorrow.

      1990 Suzuki King Quad 300cc Kicks and bucks when accelerating unless ignition switch is in LIGHT position.
      By Tuzz
      Bucking started about a month ago and works ok after 1/2 hour warmup.  Today while working on it i discovered that if i put the ignition switch in LIGHT position it runs fine right from the start.
      I'm stumped!  Any idea why this could be?
