@MrSpookylukey The front differential does not lock on the Mule - only the rear. It's just fine with the stock tires. We just prefer a bit more traction and taller gearing - especially on the diesel version.

I have specifically asked the Product Manager 'Why not add just a bit more wheel travel and up the speed limiter?' Answer; 'No! This is a pure utility vehicle and is meant for work. Our customers prefer the speed limiter set where it is and the suspension is fine for the job site.' I say too bad ;-)

Sure sounds like it 'should' be the CVs. Could be the axle slop but I really doubt that. Anything hitting or rubbing that you can see? Could also be the front driveshaft that gets bound up a bit in 4wd. Is it only on harder surfaces, or any time at all in 4wd?

It's all the time in 4wd although it dosent do it in low range only in high and reverse so it could be speed related but I really don't know. I've also noticed that to fully disengage the 4wd system you have to drive in reverse for a few yards.

One last question. On my mule when in 4 wheel drive there is a knocking sound coming from the front when I turn left or right. I've checked the cv joints and they were both fine I've been told it could be the front differential but I'm hoping this isn't the case as when we changed the oil there were no bits in it. Hopefully you might know what it is.

In my opinion it's a diesel mule all the time. The ranger and the rhino will do as a work vehicle in the same way lettuce will do you as a food.

Does the mule not have a locking or locked differential at the front. And what's it like with stock tyres.

I should've probably mentioned that it is a 2004 mule so it is quite old. I might check again sometime soon because it definitely sounds like it's getting worse so I might be able to see something now. Do you know whether a 4010 power steering unit will fit a 3010

Oh well its a shame that Kawasaki keep it old school but if I went on the road as much as off road I would have a land rover defender diesel. Although I'm wondering if you clear up a rumour for me as I've heard that one of the leading manufacturers of utility vehicles is going to put a PTO shaft on the back of one so it can do the job of a tractor.

I couldn't take it on a trail, England has invented them yet although I did go from some marshy mud the mule was stuck there for 4 days. But the things I find most annoying about the mule is a) the stupid seat belts they put on where depending on how much you had for breakfast depends on how much you have to adjust it. And b) the fun factor, the problem there isn't any. I can't help but think that I could have more fun being stabbed. I also wish they'd make the suspension softer and travel more.
