What did I do now! Found front hub oil on my disk & inside of tire. Jacked up the front end and the tire has about 1/8" slop. Tie rods are good. Checked hub fluid, Oh no, none came out of hole. Took front cap off bearing looks OK. What do you think would fail to cause the slop in wheel? I know rear seal is leaking. What do ya think, need new Hub?

You may not necessarily need a new hub, just a new hub seal. There is also an inner bearing in the hub. It depends how long you've been riding with a bad seal and if you've been riding in alot of water. Water can get in there and ruin the bearings.
I'd replace the bearings and seal and chances are you'll be ok. I don't know what Polaris charges for those bearings but I took mine up to the local auto parts store and they were able to match them using the numbers on the bearings. I'm sure it was cheaper than what Polaris asks for them.
