Default Steering pulling HARD to right randomly...

I've read other posts, and it seems this means I need to replace hub fluid and try again. Well, I cant replace hub fluid in right hub because drain plug is stripped...working on that dillemma now. I already changed fluid in the left before the problem began. This problem 'seems' to go away when I flip to 2wd, but it isnt happening often enough to diagnose...but it'll happen at least once per minute of tooling around in the back yard.


My other suspicion is the torn CV boot on the left side. It was torn when I got it, and I havent gotten around to replacing the entire shaft (I have it sitting in my garage...i decided to do the whole thing because i had no idea how long boot was torn b4 i bought bike). Could the CV joint cause this? If so,maybe i'll do that first?

It sounds like the hub is locked in when it shouldn't be.

could be the cv, or bad bearings. the awd could be sticking on in that one side or other side isnt locking in when when the awd is pushed on.
