You need to clean the hub and bearings and put new oil in it. The Polaris oil is best.

Mine would do that because I had a bad hub seal. Sometimes when it would start to do it you would need to go forward and backwards a few times to make both sides work the same.

More than you care to know about Polaris AWD hub link. ATV Time :: View topic - Polaris Demand Drive Hub Q&A Picture Guide to Service

If your seal is gone it will leak at the inside of the wheel rim. just changing the fluid and taking nothing apart will fix that problem in most cases.

Make sure when you disasemmbly the hubs you clean up the armature plate that gets magnatized thats usually the main thing that starts hanging up. its just the small thin black plate i usally use really fine sandpaper to get out any grooves it may have caused.
