Default why do the front tires vee out?

O-k, heres a question. In four wheel my front tires v out and it pulls hard to the left. Is there a reason, and how could I fix it? And when I take it out of four wheel the tires are still pulling untill I reverse and rock steering back and fourth?

Get the front end off the ground and wiggle stuff until you find something loose.

be sure to check your hub fluid..sounds like it is bone dry and this can/will cause you a lot of problems with your atv and wallet

Check and or change the hub fluid and make sure all your tire pressures are where they are supposed to be. You dont have aftermarket tires do you?

I would guess the pulling to left issue is from a bad tie rod end, steering bushing, or ball joint. The 4wd situation should be fixed with the solution others have suggested here clean out your old hub fluid with brake cleaner and then put in polaris hub fluid or mobil 1 synthetic atf. Also if one of your hubs in engaged and the other isn't it will pull funny.
