Default 1 spinning wheel and lost power...

i have no clue... when i hop on the gas just the right wheel spins on my polaris xplorer 300(both normally do)... and when i ride faster it has a loss of power and high RPM's, i have a hint of maybe a new belt might cure my problem... i luebbed up the nipple on the swingarms and all that stuff... when i engage 4 wheel drive all wheels spin except that one left rear tire... is it time for new bearings or a belt?i have no mods besides a drop in filter... im clueless to this! anyone have a suggestion, or expirenced this? Thankx!!

If you have a solid rear axle, sounds like you stripped out the wheel hub on the left side. I know if they come loose they strip out the aluminum spline on the hub assembly. If you look in the middle of the rim there is a big bolt, remove that and your hub assembly will come off. look inside and there should be grooves or splines. yours are probably worn off. Good luck.

Yep I stripped out mine last week. I just got it fixed yesterday. luckily it was just the hub and not the axle. I think it only cost me 15 dollars or so for the part.

I strip off hubs on a regular basis so I carry a spare in the truck at all times.
