Rear bearing is bad or cv joint is bad.check boots for rips.Check rear wheel bearing first that the cheapest fix
The 2000 Ram had u joints, not cv joints at the front axle.
don't replace the joint. replace the axle
in a 2005 800 the front outer is replaced by removing axle nut. brake caliper, rotor and boot. rest half shaft on jack stand. place large pipe wrench or adjustable wrench over shaft behind cv joint. strike wrench with a 2.5 pound hammer. cv joint can be easily disassembled and cleaned. use screwdriver handle to tap bearing cage verticle. remove bearings one at a time. rotating cage after each one. clean, rinstall and grease.
CV boot? Tierod boot? Ball joint boot? Driveshaft slip yoke boot? If its torn REPLACE it
It's easier and more cost/effort efficient to replace it with a rebuilt shaft. That way you get an inner & outer joint, new boots and it becomes a remove & replace instead of a grief filled search for bits and pieces to fix yours.
There will be clicking and poping in tight turns. A visual inspection of the boots will show torn or ripped boots and the joint will be dry.

Consider replacing the axle with a rebuilt unit. When the boot is torn, contaminants enter the joint and quickly destroy it. It is very labor intensive to replace the boot vs an axle which is a do-it-yourself job. In my shop we used to replace boots but because of high incident of joint failure customers were understandably upset. The boot has a life and so does the joint; once the boot tears ,the joint is not far behind. Why do the job twice?
It's usually much more inexpensive to replace the entire drive shaft than to repair a worn cv joint. The new drive shaft will come with new cv joints and new boots.
how do you replace a CV joint on a 1992 Chevy pickup?
i have an 2005 800. remove axle nut, brake caliper and rotor and boot. rest half shaft on jack stand. use either a large pipe wrench or adjustable wrench fit loosely over shaft behind cv joint and strike with a large 2.5 pound hammer on wrench to remove. cv joint can be disassenbled, cleaned and reassembled easily. use handle for a screwdriver to tap cage around bearings to verticle. remove bearings one at a time and retate after each is removed. clean and reinstall, then grease.Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/How_do_you_remove_front_CV_Joint_in_2005_Polaris_Sportsman_400#ixzz1WPlSpauF
