Default Crashed Out and Need Help

2000 Scrambler 500 4x4, I crased it out and it rolled a few times and now the front left tire has a wobble in it, its not the wheel because I can jack up the whole quad so the tire free spin and when you give it gas and the front tire never has to spin in two wheel drive you can see the hub go up and down cuase the front drive shaft spins all the time up to the hubs, but what could be bent right there or should I just take it to the dreaded polaris shop. What should it cost to fix?

I've just had the same problem. It sounds like the CV joint, which is attached to the spindle, is bent. You may also need to replace the front shaft that drives the CV joint. See the parts diagram at Partsland.com for a price of the parts ($270 ?) It's not a tough DIY job if you have tools and a manual. To check the wheel rim, mount it on the other side and see if it wobbles. My guess is that any hit hard enough to bend the CV joint also bent the rim.

I would also check to make sure your a-arm is not bent. That must have been a wicked crash to bend the cv shaft. I would also check to see if you messed up any of your bearings as well

hey, $hit happens. It could have been worse. At least your quad took most of the damage and not you
