Hey my brand new arctic cat hasnt beein in mud but has been washed some, the front right wheel squeaks not all the time but a lot. Whats up with this? does it need grease or is something caught in it? I just found out it only squeaks if i turn right [This message has been edited by BenA. (edited 08-12-1999).]

You sure its the wheel, or is it the brakes??? New brake pads squeak alot...heck..on 4 wheelers, old brake pads squeak. More then likley its your brakes though. Nothing to worry about.

yea my left wheel squeaks when i turn left. i nearowed it down to the brake area and figured it was my pads...it wasent like a squeak it was more like sumthing rubbing together....also keep check on your hydraulic hose that goes to the brake my poped out of its little holder(a little groove in the a-arm) and was againt the shock and rubbed a knotch into it....i guess if you didnt notice it it would eventually wear a hole....just sumthing to think about ------------------ ~Arctic-Cat 500 4x4~ Http://users.pcnow.net/mindz ICQ - 8968820
