I have a 2001 SP 400 with about 580 miles on it. The left front hub has given me problems for the last few years. Now when I use AWD the left front hub won't disengage unless I flip the AWD switch off. The the hub releases and I am good to go. I can drive a few feet flip the AWD switch and it will work fine. But once the rear wheels slip and the fronts kick in the left will not release. The right side will release, I know this because the quad will pull to the left and be a real bear to steer. My question is what do I need to fix this problem. I have been looking for a new hub, but do I really need a new hub or is there a couple parts that need to be replaced. Any help is appreciated.

i heard that changing the fluid some times helf. havent had that problem as of yet ( knock on wood)

 

Thanks, I've tried the fluid and it still did the same thing. I wonder if the magnets are bad.
