Ok I need some more help LOL

Renting a Sprotman 400 for work right now...Been in some mud, got a bit stuck today but drove out after some spinning...

Now the quad seems to keep pulling to the right intermittently...it seems to pull, then let off, then pull to the right again, quite frequently...brakes dont seem to be grabbing.

Any suggestions as to what could be causing this??

Mud build up? brake slightly warped?

Pulled the wheel, cant see anything that looks wrong...wernt using the brakes so dont think its brakes...Almost feels like the AWD kicks in and out??

Maybe a wire going to the transfer case broken?

if you put it into AWD does it still do it?

When it does that does it help to put it in reverse for about 15 seconds?? Mine used to do this also and I found that doing that would help get it out of AWD.

Thanks all...

Turns out we blew the drivers side front CV joint...wow, not a cheap fix...This one is going back, we bought a 2011 Honda Foreman yesterday, should be good to go now!!

Again, thanks for all the advice!

I forgot about that as well, putting in reverse momentarily helped .
