Rhino 250 (2021) Frame noises

Chais82 · 09-08-2021, 05:58 PM

I just purchased a Rhino 250 2021 model about a month ago. I was going up a rock slowly and heard a pop. Now when there is load on the engine I hear noises coming from the frame I didnt hear before. It turns out (my fault for not checking) the bolts holding the rear together were not torqued and caused the rear end to move, which in turn snapped one of the chain adjusters. After replacing those and torqueing the bolts the sound is much better but still bad. When I squeeze my chain the whole rear end moves. There is a lot of slop where the rear arm meets the frame. Can anyone tell me if there are bearings at this joint? Im wondering if it indeed has needle roller bearings and I damaged them. This is what I found on the parts site and wasnt sure if this is what may have broke. partskit.com/collections/rhino-250/products/101097

Any help or pointers are greatly appreciated!
