you mean the univeral joint? the out side toward the wheel is thre cv joint part of it onthe earlier bikes. looking at the parts break down it only list one under cv joint so maybe all 4 sides take the same.

the cv joint is out by the tire and the univeral is inside near the transmission. the outside had the slpined shaft which goes thru the wheel hub and mounted w/ the big nut to hold it on.

The 97 only had u joints, there was no CVs on the 97 Sportsman. I think it was 98 that CVs were first used.
