Thanks for the reply. I did jack it up on stands and check for play in the u joints and the carrier bearing. I didn't find any play in the u joints or the carrier bearing but lots of slop in the shaft between the two front drive lines. I pulled the drive lines and the carrier bearing out and like I said there's all sorts of movement on the shaft but I get the same amount of slop with new parts from CF Moto. Going to see if I can return these parts and check on getting drivelines and new carrier bearing built with tighter tolerances. Will let u know what I find.

ZForce 800 EX, 53 & Trail / Carrier shaft and drive shaft play
November 08, 2025, 12:06:10 PM
I have a 2015 ZForce 800 that I bought used it's started making a clunking noise in the drive line area. When I got the machine jacked up and checked for play in the u joints they seemed fine and so did the carrier bearing. I did notice some play between the carriers shaft and the female end of the drive shafts on both sides so I ordered new drive lines. The new ones have the same play in them. I don't know how much play if at all there should be or if I should replace the shaft also. I can't fine any previous postings about this being a problem can anybody help me out here?
