2007 Yamaha Grizzly 700 Problems with Front End

[Carrie]

I have a 2007 yamaha grizzly 700, wondering what could be wrong inside deferential gear case in front end of bike. Front axil doesnt seem to turn smoothly, can hear a "clinking" sound coming from the deferential gear case when turning the axil?

Tire seems to be wearing out funny on right front side when sitting on bike.

Any hints out there?? Thanks Carrie

that clicking might be your axles check both of them for play...if there is your axle needs to be rebuilt or replaced....for your right front tire what do you mean its wearing out funny??

I already disconnected ball joints, tie rod, pulled the axel out of the gear case, axel seems good, when i put it back in case and try to hand turn the axel, thats when there appears to be a clicking noise. Do you know whats inside that case (any barings? or anything that could be making that noise?)

The tire wearing is on the front right if sitting on bike, it seems to be the centre tread towards the outside of the bike is wearing more then any of the other tread...could this be caused by a wheel baring?? thanks
