Front CV joint loose in diff
Yeah, I know it's not really a diff, you knew what I mean. The CV joint is loose, I can grab it and wiggle it around. It's not the shaft itself, it's where it goes into the front drive unit. It's the left one only, not the right. I can also hear a new rattling noise and can also feel it through the bars, I believe this is where it's coming from. Is this common? What's the fix?

Does it wiggle up and down or in and out? Your axle is a splined shaft with a groove in it for a compression ring. The compression ring is what holds it in place. If you can wiggle it in and out I would suspect the ring is weak, not seated properly, or broken which I've never seen but not impossible. If it wiggles up and down I would suspect possibly a bearing or roller cage in the front drive housing.

Not sure if the Diff would come apart for the bearing, not as bad as you think if be, I hear of people changing the roller cage and saying it was not that bad of a job.
According to this parts site OEM motorcycle and ATV parts from Honda, Yamaha & Polaris – Cycle Parts Warehouse you should find out if your ATV was built before or after 7/17/06 also a different diff if its ADC. so three possible front gear cases for a 07, 800.

when you say a little wiggle, how much? I checked my sportsmans to kinda compare what your saying and both sides of mine wiggle slightly up and down but not front to back. I only have 600 mile on it so far, and noticed zero issues with it the way it is. I wonder if it's normal to have just a little give.
