Default Hard Steering in 4WD

When in AWD - and reverse - the steering pulls really hard to one side or the other. when put in low or high once this starts, it will pull hard to one side or the other and is very stiff to steer. I can usually get it to stop by moving the steering wheel back and forth or taking it out of AWD. I have changed all the fluids in the front end. Please help....

Older models do this. One hub will stay engaged. After you use AWD put it in reverse and back up for a few feet. That will release the hubs.

Also clean and the right amount and kind of hub fluid is important. What year is the ATV?

And Tighten the castle nut to 165 In. Lb. Spin the hub a few revolutions and loosen the nut to finger tight. Now tighten nut to 124 In. Lb. to a maximum of 144 In. Lb
