I’m having a hard time finding a replacement ujoint for my Polaris. Every parts lookup only shows the entire front shaft, yoke up to the cv joint. I’m assuming these can be replaced like any other universal joint but I’m new to this world… ideas or suggestions? it’s a 1994 Polaris 400L 4x4 Thanks for helping

We always had a 4 wheeler or a 3 wheeler when I was a kid. I didn’t use them much but did go rip around gravel pits with my buddies from time to time in high school. After that I didn’t own one til this weekend and only occasionally rode them in the last 20 years. That being said, I discovered that I really love working on engines. I’ve always done all my own maintenance on my vehicles even though I don’t have formal training or interest, I was just cheap. I have this thing about not paying people to do something I’m capable of doing myself. I’ve done anything from oil changes, window motors, replacing fuel pumps and a clutch. Generally using a manual and recently youtube and the internet as my guide! So from there I really found some sort of calming relief and joy from working on small engines. I love it. There’s nothing like taking a weed whip, chainsaw, or snow blower and getting it all cleaned up and running again! I love the solitary part of this, the trouble shooting/research and thinking it takes to diagnose and fix an issue. Anyways, worked my way through some riding lawn mowers, motorcycles, and my bobcat fixing whatever I can. I ran out of things to work on this winter and went shopping for a project! In order to convince the wife I needed a project it had to have purpose! I decided to get a 4 wheeler with a plow so I can move snow quicker and easier(on the times when it’s only a couple inches.) and since I live in Minnesota that’s quite often. Anyways, I shopped for quite awhile for the right machine and found a 1994 Polaris sportsman 400 with a brand new plow, no major cosmetic issues other than the seat, with only 540 miles on it. It does need some work though and makes it the perfect project! I already know this is just the start of a likely obsession with atvs… I’m already shopping for another one and can’t wait to get the one I just bought cruising and it snow plowing condition. So that’s my story. The reason I’m here is that I love forums like this and rely on people to share knowledge! That’s how I’ve taught myself anything I know about engines or anything mechanical. Also, one of the big reasons I joined is I can’t seem to find an owners manual or any service manuals. Other than the ones on websites I’m not familiar with and don’t know if I can trust, looking to sell me a digital copy. I’ve had bad luck with that stuff before. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to look? Any free download or even a trustworthy site to pay for one? I would appreciate the help. It’s a 1994 polaris sportsman 400 4x4. Thank you all in advance for the help and I look forward to learning and contributing where I can. Adam

Hello everyone. New here and trying to learn everything I can. Bought my first atv this weekend. 94 Polaris sportsman 400. It needs a little work but only has 540 miles! Excited to learn from you all. Adam
