So today I went for about an hour ride on my 97 XP. When I got back to the dock, I heard bad rattle at idle. Not from the engine. The engine is running great. So I lifted the back hatch and saw pink dust all over. See picture. Also found this lump of pink plastic. See other picture. I suspected what it was and reached in to see if I could move the shaft back and forth behind the carrier bearing. There is about 1/4 inch play and a sound of metal against metal? Not sure how to attach video with Tapatalk. Has anyone had this happen and how easy is it to fix this? I think this is what is left of the plastic bushings in the knuckles of the outer front shaft housing.
