Knocking Noise

[jman]

I have a 1998 350 Big Bear 4x4. I'm having alot of knocking type noise on the front end. Especially when the four wheeler in carrying any kind of weight. Any suggestions?

Bad front axle joint?? Does it get worse when you turn handlebars??

Dunno...

Going to need more info and a better description of it to offer any real help.

Does it happen under acceleration, during braking, going over bumps, all the time etc. How often does it happen? Is it in timing or rhythem with the engine rpms etc?

Just too many unknowns and possible causes to go on etc.

bearings are probably going. try greasin your front end. i regrease mine after every ride in i was in the mud or water. it always seems to seep in
