Scrambler 500 4wd engaging when in 2wd
The front left wheel of my 03 scrambler 500 is engaging when at high speeds with the quad in 2wd. It causes the quad to pull hard to the left. I tightened the nut, but it still does it. I don't have a torque wrench so set the exact torque of the nut. Can anyone offer some advice as to what could be causing this?

Try changing the hub fluid first,it can fix many strange quirks. The king nuts torque is very important in the operation of the front wheel drive ,its almost the only time I used a torque wrench when I changed a seal once on mine.
It "CAN NOT" go over 14 or 12 pounds per square inch (I forget now) I would look it up but my manual is at the cottage. |
When i tightened the nut I changed the hub fluid. I will try taking it all back apart and check for any signs of wear. When i put it back together i will try to leave the nut a little more loose this time and see how that works.

Not sure if this thread helps but these two guys are talking about how the sytyem works. May have some useful tips for you.
All Polaris Hilliary locking hubs are the same no matter the year or model I think. http://forums.atvconnection.com/pola...-awd-coil.html Also did you use the right stuff? Polaris makes a AWD hub fluid and a different one for the newer models with locking front diff rather then locking hubs. Did you drain the excess fluid out at the right position , The manual says at the 4 O'Clock position. |

I believe that I used the right stuff. I don't have it in front of me so I can't tell you the exact name, but I believe it's Polaris transmission fluid. I filled the hub until fluid came out at the 3 o'clock position. The other side is filled to the same level and I'm not having a problem. Thanks for your help.
