I am to the point of removing the floor pans to inspect the driveline, but then it occurred to me.....I just dropped 30grand on this pos!!!!! Why should I inspect or try and figure out what the hell is going on with the vibration!!!!! answer-because I have limited faith that the dealer will do anything and is a 90 minute drive. This is a known problem, can anyone help with this one????? I know im not the first to ask for the warranty solution, cmon can am comrads, give a buddy some help before I rip this thing apart.....

I hate to say it, But you are 100% correct in that the dealer will DO SQUAT!!! Even if they fond the problem..... Warranties most likely won't cover it.... Or it will be such a PITA to get it covered...... That you'll end up saying F' IT!!! And do it yourself anyway.... better to just skip ALL THE BS!!!! and just fix it yourself.... I had a brake issue that I just couldn't figure out....(WOULD NOT STAY UNDER PRESSURE) so I took it to the local dealer. They had it for a week and told me it was a disc/hub issue... So I bought them both.... Guess what? Both were PERFECT!!!! So I called them about it.... and did some SERIOUS REAMING!!!! And told them I wanted to talk to management about it... So the manager calls and tells me that they couldn't hardly turn the wheel because the visco lok diff was f'd up.... and they assumed the brake issue was as described above.... THEN WHY THE F DIDN'T THEY TELL ME THAT WHEN THEY CALLED ME???? He told me "they did". REALLY???? Don't ya think I'd have had that looked into while it was in, IF IN FACT THAT WAS THE CASE??? Then when I ask about the diff...... They tell me they don't warranty broken parts like that..... WHY IN THE F WOULD I NEED A PERFECTLY GOOD OPERATIONAL DIFF COVERED BY WARRANTY!!! F'N CROOKS!!!! And CanAm was NO HELP EITHER!!! GOOD LUCK!! Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually thinking about dropping my skids again. This time I'll fill that cavity with expanding foam for a couple reasons... first of which NOISE dampening. Secondly for HEAT RETENTION.

I just got them mounted on my stock rims. Took it for a 4-5 mile ride around town and no more rattle!! Tomorrow I'll get some more miles in it & update you all. Has anyone else changed tires and still have the rattle..vibe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else changed tires and still have the rattle..vibe? It may have been that the wheel had not been seated well on the hub. (Tightened before centered on lugs... ) My wheels now will do that if I'm not careful. They are setup for larger lugs... Which I may end up drilling hubs for the larger lugs and balance the wheels/tires.... Whatever your issue WAS..... Great to hear IT'S FIXED!!! YAY!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 😉 Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took it to the dealer yesterday who said they were informed by can-am of a technical servce bulletin that involves the front cv shafts that have to be modified by drilling and bolting to ensure they are tight and to prevent vibration. Havent got it back yet but hope it does the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same issue as everyone is saying that annoying rattling while slowing down. I also have that growling noise while turning the wheel left all the way. Other than that we love the machine.
