Default Polaris 700 pulling to left

Hey everyone I need a little help please. I ve got a polaris sportsman 700 2007 model. I've notice, just recently, that when I ride it has developed a strong pull to the left. I have to keep adjusting the steering to the right to compensate. Took it to the dealer and they said the alignment looked fine. tie rods are not bent. Air pressures are good. Dealer couldn't find the problem. I think it may be the bearings or CV joint but Im not sure. Left rear tire feels like it is catching on something. Strong vibration noted from left rear at slow speeds. Any Ideas on what I should Check and where I should start. Other than finding a new dealer? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

check the cv loints and bearings sounds like a dry cv joint check for ripped or torn boots

Are you sure it isn't going in to 4x4? They will do that on hard packed surfaces. Mine will go in to 4x4 all on its own when it is really humid out.

Plus if back tires have different air pressure will cause pulling and will seem like alignment problem. Good luck
