Default Sportsman 500 Steering Pull in AWD???

I have a 2001 Sportsman 500 4X4. Lately, once in a while, it pulls hard to the left or right when in AWD mode. This only occurs from the start because it pulls to hard to steer. It feels like only one of the hubs maybe engaging but I am not sure. Any idea's.

Thanks

Only one hub engaging at a time causes pulling to right and left.

Pull hub covers clean and replace O-rings and put Polaris hub oil back in front hubs. ( or synthetic transmission fluid) Fill by removing allen screw on side of front hub, put fill hole at 3:00 or 9:00, fill until fluid runs out and replace screw.


good luck............

could it be the wires that run from the handle bars down to the hub. If one is crimped could that cause it?
