Mi inner cv Housings wobble around on the splined diff shaft. All inner ones have this issue.

Does anyone else have this, and does it get worse as you use it?

I've got 7k miles, and have been contemplating a fix - 2 10x1.25 in-line tapped holes in the housing over the splined shaft with two SHCS bolts, as short as possible locking them in and keeping them from wobbling.

Keeping the bolts short prevents balance issues, and SHCS are case hardened. Dimpling the shafts would keep from damaging them and make removal easier. On a side note, I could also permanently remove the locking rings, as the bolts would do the same.

Thoughts?

I've been meaning to post this for some time now so maybe now is a good time. I didn't fix mine because I thought they would wear out but I'm sure they do wear some. I mainly fixed mine because of the clunking noise they can make. Fixing it means four less places making noise. This is what I did to fix mine. I started out by using a 1/16" thick cutoff wheel and cut 6 slots into the spline end of the CV outer housing. These were cut all the way down to the base. I then machined the area with the slots on a taper of .020" per 1" of outer length. The taper wants to run to the larger part of the outer but no more. Leaveing as much material as possible but still having a full length taper. I then took a 3/4" thick round ring and machined a taper on its ID to match and sized so it would almost slide on but be about 1/8" of getting flush. One of the pictures shows it slid on this far. I then set the outer up in an hydraulic press. Didn't have one and always was going to build one, so I did. It's a 25 ton bench design. Got everything set up to be able to press the ring onto the spline. It requires taking the output shaft out of the differential, I had an extra one laying around so I used it. At that point, I heat the outers end to a cherry red and press the collar on, but not all the way. I wanted to go about 2/3 of the way to the bottom. I didn't want to go so far, making it too tight so that I couldn't slide them on the splines. I probably should have gone only about 1/2 way down because mine were a bit tight but they did go on with some medium tapping with a lead hammer. It would be better to be a bit loose and have to go back reheat and give it a little more then to be too tight. Once pressed on the hot red hot end, I let it cool for about 3 hours. By the way I punched the little plug that separated the spline from the joint itself out. Don't need it when things are tight. I then put 3 setscrews in the ring to tighten against the outers od. These were 120 degrees apart. I also drilled and taped three 3/8 fine bolt holes in the side of the ring again 120 degrees apart. With hex bolts in the taped holes, the heads towards the larger end of the outer, provides a way to get the ring slid back off when removal is required. When assembling, I would slide the collar on as far as it would go without forcing it and install the CV outer on the output shaft. I then used a puller to draw it onto the taper which makes it all act like a collet. It gets real tight. I then tighten the 3 setscrews to hold things in place. By the way, I used never seez on the rings Id to keep it from galling onto the shaft. It works great and is super solid on the shaft.

The clip is gone and It doesn't need tempering. I used a hack saw to test the material and found it was quite soft. Figured it being soft it would be fine. After I was done it tested the same with the hack saw. I tested it on an old CV outer first and it was fine so I went ahead and did the 4 on the Trooper. I, like everyone else, hated that clip.

Actually I have been thinking of building one from scratch. Been thinking about selling mine because I'll need the room in my shop. Hate too, I've done so much to it, its a real solid buggy now and real fast but can't hang on to it and build one at the same time. Going to take a beaten on it. Got a lot of money into it but its not about the money but being able to be creative with something. After all, my basic life career has be in product development which I love very much. I have learned an awful lot, a lot of it from you guys here.I have more fun trying new things then riding so I'm going to have to give up riding for a while. Jeanne and I are planning on getting a larger 5th wheel trailer and doing some longer term trips. General exploring, site seeing and some prospecting. Maybe three or four months at a time. Have wanted to do that for years. Sort of just shy of being a full time vacationer. We won't be taking the Trooper, won't be able to double trailer any more, too long. Plan on throwing a couple of dirt bikes on the back of the 5th wheel. Plan on doing the design work in Solidworks on the computer while on the road. Looking forward to it. So if you see my Trooper on Ebay at some point, you'll understand my plans. I very much plan on staying around. After all, we all have become like a family here.

Well I can't say I'm too surprised, I think you'll make a fantastic rig, I just wish we lived closer so I could come watch and help. Good luck to you and I look forward to seeing what you come up with, but will miss having to opportunity to ride with you and Jeanne from time to time. Let me know if you end up in my area.

Thanks! I don't know, I guess the market will decide. I would like to get 18K out of it. I have about 10K more then that into it. I would like to see someone buy and race it. Its real fast and handles the rough stuff good. Its a riot to blast the trails with and great in the dunes. I guess time will tell what someone is willing to pay for it. Here I go again getting ready to dive into another money pit. Doesn't matter, I'm having loads of fun and meeting great people along the way. Can't ask for more then that. I'll still be here on the forum throwing out my 2 cents worth for what its worth.

So,

I didn't do Lenny's fix, cus you need balls, acetylene and a lathe, etc.,

I tapped into the housing over the output shaft, and put in 10mm screws.

FYI, the housing is soft but the spline on the inside is case hardened. I'm figuring about 60 rockwell. I used a combination of concrete bits and a regular HSS drill to get through, then ground the inside to get rid of as much of the spline around the hole as possible so I wouldn't bugger up the taps too much.

A set of three taps - #1, 2 and bottoming got all holes done. This is an all day job because of the case hardening.

I'll let everyone know how it works out. It is quiter, but will it last?

If anyone is contemplating doing this, don't forget to taper the end of the bolts so they don't mushroom out and make it impossible to remove.

      Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for a 2014 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work.
      By rdc
      I posted this before , but I had the year wrong. The part I need is for a 2014, I don't know what all years will work, but I need the 2 bearing style with the spacer in the middle. It looks like this pic. If anyone has one I'll buy it rite away. my email is [email protected]. Thanks, RC

      Looking for a left rear shaft carrier (just the carrier) for a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper
      By rdc
      Hope I posted this in the right place. Looking for the left side shaft carrier where the rear bearings go for an 1100cc sand viper, I understand an 800 cc carrier will also work. I need the old style two bearing with the spacer in the middle, the new style with just the one wide bearing wont work. If anybody has one I'll buy it right away. my email is [email protected]

      Polaris RZR 800 Rear Differential Pinion Nut Issue
      By Sidewinder
      All mid 2008 through 2014 Polaris RZR 800 series have a big problem with the rear differential pinion nut backing off, allowing the pinion gear to shoot into the rear differential, destroying the rear differential. This has happened with machines with as little as less than 100 miles on them! Reports indicate that there are no problems, nor warnings, until the rear differential grenades, locking the rear axles solid! This requires the machine to be lifted onto a trailer, to be transported for rear differential replacement, as it destroys the case. After failure, rear differential replacement can be quite expensive: labor alone can run from $800-$1200 and a new OEM Spicer rear diff, if you can find one, can run from $1700-$2500! So, if you own any Polaris RZR 800 series between the years of 2008-2014, I recommend that you do this repair before further use of your machine. personally, I have grounded my machine until it can be done. Please check the online post for your own awareness.

      Kubota RTV520 - smoke and stall issue
      By fikey
      I am about 6 months in to owning my 520. It is used mainly to run back and forth to our barn and shop. Occasionally, I run it up and down a few fairly steep hills on the property. One day, as I was going up one of the hills, the motor started sputtering and a tremendous amount of smoke was coming out of the exhaust. I was near the top and it made it (sputtering) up. Once back on the flat, I made it home. I loaded it on the trailer and took it back to the dealer. They said they checked everything out and found no issues. Over the next month or so, I only had occasion to go up hills once or twice with no issue. Then one day, again as I was going up a hill, the engine sputtered, giant plume of white smoke and then the engine died. 30 seconds later, started up and made it to the top. Repeated the route (down and up) and the same thing happened again. Called the dealer and their head of service said he would come out and wanted to see it first hand. He came out a few days later and repeated the route several time and it never happened with him in it. I had videoed the whole thing on one of the times it happened to me, but since it happens intermittently, could not produce it when he was here. I told him that I had checked the temperature, the oil level and the antifreeze level after each occurrence and they were normal. I asked him to call Kubota and ask what the possibilities were and that I am not fond of it dying on the hill and blowing the smoke and I didn't want to wait until something catastrophic happened to figure it out. When I followed up, they had no answers (which doesn't exactly please me). Any ideas? The attached photo was the start of the smoking. Didn't know how to upload the video of the whole thing, but it fogged the whole area.

      750 Sector Rear Diff Swap
      By CarlB
      I have a 2022 Hisun 750 Sector which comes with a locked rear differential. Was wondering if it would be possible to install an unlocking differential.  I see that there are some Hisun made machines that come with the unlocking rear diff, such as Cub Cadet Challenger, some of the Massimos, and probably others. My concern is whether these would be a direct bolt on, using the original axles, drive shaft, and of course matching gear ratio. I've tried to match up part numbers but it seems every brand has their own number system even for parts that I know are identical. If anyone has ever done this swap or has any information about the whether these unlocking rear diffs are comparable to the Sector, I'd appreciate your input.
