Yes I'm driving it tight against a machined shoulder on the shaft it probably won't move much say a couple thousands but this may be all you need I'm in the process of removing my diff from the machine here shortly so I don't know if this new thought will help, I'm just hopeful at this point.

Hi Mustangpaul, Well I think I've got it figured out fingers are crossed. I tapped on both bearings as we discussed they seemed to be tight against their shoulders, I then removed the spacer that fits on the ring gear indexing on the five roll pins on the right side of the ring gear. What I believe to be my problem was a bushing perhaps 3" in diameter that is pressed into the gearcase sub assembly this bushing was sticking up about 5 thousands above the gear case and not even around its circumference I went ahead and drove the bushing down even with the flat surface of the gearcase, the ring gear fits in this bushing and I believe that it was causing the ring gear to ride higher thus causing the carrier assembly to come into a bind. Everything works as it should now when up in the air both front wheels spin freely back and forth easily. Hope this helps you with your machine.

Your talking about the larger red like bushing inside the one on the casing,it’s about 5/8 thick by 3in diameter around.mine was not sitting straight either,I straightened it where it meets,mine is sitting below the top edge about 1/8th way down from top edge,right where it bevels.it didn’t make no difference to mine

Hi Mustangpaul,Yes I replaced with a new aluminum cage which came with clips and rollers around $80.00 East lake Axle is who I purchased from, there are evidently different types of cages for different models and years of Polaris machines, I purchased thru EBAY. One additional thought, be sure to index the five roll pins on each side of the ring gear into their corresponding notches in each hub if they aren't in the correct position then I believe you would encounter a interference which could possibly cause your 4x4 all the time? I'm not sure but something to consider. Good luck and let me know what you come up with.

Thats the same place I bought mine online at, tried everything known to man cant get it to stop locking up once in awhile.is there a difference of putting the roller cage upside down or not,cause it fits both ways.also when you put in new cage was it flush with the ring gear when you insertred it, mine is up just a bit above the edge on ring gear

Yes mine was up above the ring gear a little new carrier measured the same as the old one or awful close, not sure on the direction although I installed mine with the machined recesses towards the armature plate these recesses are what the armature indexed into, mine had a grove machined into the end of the carrier that had said recesses cut in. Hope that is of help............
