What is wrong with the yokes you have, are the splines sloppy cause most of the yokes are sloppy on the shaft.

He never said,but maybe he'll answer.. If u- joints wear bad enough,the yokes can get bent or wallowed out making them useless on installing new u-joints. That's the only time I've had to replace yokes.Especially bad on the pre 99 Sportsmans that didn't have cv's but u-joint drive shafts..And in those cases,just cheaper to replace the whole drive shaft.

Same thing on the prop shaft from the transmission to the front differential..http://www.cyclepartswarehouse.com/f...1998&fveh=5462

I replaced a cpl shafts on a 4x4 (THX OPT for the guidance).
I googled atv driveshafts (or something like that) and found some very good prices.

Sorry, i havent been back in a while. Yes the yoke is sloppy on the shaft. Riding sounds clunky and theres alot of play especially the rear. Yes I did look at just replacing the whole prop shaft instead of buying it piece by piece. Have not had time to look up the parts/prices. I will post what I find, and thanks for all your input. 2 yrs of working on this bike and lots of frustration and were getting close. She runs and drives now, just replacing worn stuff and this was highly recommended by the polaris tech and he knows I do stuff myself.
