hello

i have a 2002 polaris scrambler 500 4x4 and i was lubing the u joints and the rf inner yoke is very loose on the front diff output shaft . is this common , covered under ext warranty . also what causes this and do the sportsmans have the same problem because i am thinking of buying one ... thanks

 

1). it is fairly common

2) it should be covered under warranty

3) 99% of the time it is the rolled spring pin getting worn. If you replace the spring pin as soon as you notice looseness, or soon after, it usually tightens back to 'like new'. If for some reason, they don't want to do it under warranty, buy the new pin, and replace it yourself. Get a punch & hammer. Drive the old pin about halfway out. Start the new pin where the punch was, and drive it in, using the new pin to finish driving the old one out. When it is even on both sides, you are done.
