CV Axle and rear end wobble

I have an 05 sportsman 800 with rear end wobble. At low speed it is almost a side to side motion. I jacked it up and ran it and noticed the right cv axle moving up and down near the diff right at the boot. Could this be a worn out axle or just moving where the axle was at an extreme angle being lifted up? Along with that, could a bad cv axle cause that type of wobble? I just replaced all bearings, tie rod ends, ball joints, and bushings last week. Also I noticed that while in neutral with the front wheels on the ground, I could roll the back tires and the front drive shaft would turn going to the front diff. Is this normal? The fourwheeler was not in AWD and was in neutral but the front tires weren’t trying to turn. I’m new to the Polaris so unsure of how that works. Thanks in advance!

Honda 300 rear end

Hey everyone I have recently bought a Honda fourtrax 300 and the idiot that use to own it before me destroyed the rear end. Does anyone out there have one I can buy. I don’t care if it’s the main case or the entire rear end. Please contact me asap thank you.

October 1st ride near Omaha, NE(?)

Looking for a place to ride near Omaha the first weekend of October? Willing to drive 6-8 hours any direction.

We like trail riding / exploring. Not a big fan of sand dunes and the like.

Have neighbor with condo in Georgetown, Colorado, but i’m thinking it’s going to be too cold at elevation that time of year.

Suggestions? Thanks, Daubs

Going to look at a Sportsman and have a few ???

Hello all. I will be going to look at a 2004 Polaris Sportsman 700 next week. I know absolutely nothing about them. The owner said it is all original and has about 2500 miles and 300 hours. Said his father in law only used it for hunting. It looks to be in AMAZING shape for the year. Is there anything I should look for on it? What are some common issues with these? Is it carbed still? How is the power? I know it has 4wd but does it have diff lock? These are not deal breakers by any means. I’m just looking to get out of the sport quad scene and into the 4×4 world. Getting too old to be blasting through the woods anymore lol. Here are some pictures he sent me of it…




Thank you in advance for any help!
