Hey guys,

Had a bit of a rollover today, slow speed low impact only a bit of a dent behind the door.

It rolled onto the right side and after getting it upright and starting it we found the fan rubbing agains the plastic guard that goes around it. It was rubbing on the top right side where the radiator hose, its as if the motor has moved towards the right. After cutting the guard off and driving home there is a clunking coming from the gear box in 1st and 2nd gear and 3rd under load. Everything appears to be straight and its driving straight, could the motor have shifted on its mounts? Any thoughts on what might be going on??

Thanks!

Sounds like the body could be shifted to 1 side

Check engine and gbox mounts. They could be broken

This seems to be a common occurance of late.

When I tipped mine onto its riht side, my left mount broke and the engine rolled to the right and shifted back so the outer shell of the mount was sitting on the rubber block. This caused the gear box to be way out of place and the fan to hit the shroud. We had to jack the engine up, and lever the mount back over the block. Still rocked under load but was the least of the issues that weekend. All part of the fun and experience.
