hi I have noticed a annoying metal on metal tap sound coming from the rear of my renegade x when its under stress. Basically when you rock the atv from side to side you hear a metal ping sound like something is loose somewhere and like theres some kind of play. Its especially annying when riding as it sounds like a loose piece of metal tapping up against something. What it reminds me of is when the footpeg brake spring on my old 84 ATC 200 broke and the brake pedal would smack up against the frame whenever I hit a bump.(kind of irrelvant I know)

its louder if I grab the rear bar or wheely bar and yank the atv sideways quickly either way to the left or right. Its not coming from the front only the rear.

The shock seems fine, no oil leaking and when I jump up and down on it to compress the suspension I dont hear the sound?

Only when I,m turning and or when I yank the atv sideways. Its doesnt seem to be affecting anything but I want to make sure its not a bearing or something that will haunt me financially later.

Anyone know what this could be? Originally it wasnt an issue but over time it seem to be getting louder and more frequent

Thanks
