Probably would have been a good idea to replace the hub also. You know that it's worn when you have that much play in the bearing. This will get you by but it will fail again. Also you should check to see if Timken makes a replacement which they probably do. Timken is the best bearing out there.
Looks the same as some GM AC clutch bearings. I bet you could find a Timken or NTN bearing with cross ref on the part number. Almost every bearing fits other things by the hundreds.
The fact the last one was different says something And how could they be mad about it on one order 1 out 4 was different haha that job sounds so hard🙂🙃
Interesting - I've got 1100+ HARD miles on my ProXP4 with LOTS of Jeep trail riding and rock crawling with a healthy mix of high speed trail riding on SXS trails. I've only had to replace one bearing so far and it was slight movement, nothing near catastrophic like what you had. Stock tires, but drove the thing like a straight rental the entire time. That miscommunication on the warranty stuff is.... not a good look.
I have a polaris sportsman. I never had bearing problems until i put bigger mud tires on. Now i collect ballbearings i almost have a ziplock bag full. Some day i will make a bb gun that fires polaris bearings. the heavier the tire the worse it gets. Also pro tip from Alaska put right stuff silicone on the axle splines it keeps mud and water out it will help keep the splines happy form many years.
Kryptite bearings i got for my pro are not koyos. I got them 2 years ago. All of them crapped out. They also had rubber seals not steel seals like the polaris hd. Hopefully they updated the koyo like you show. I would go back to them I am currently running sand craft bearings. We will see how they do. Sand craft comes with all new install hardware. The nut and washer and pins.
They are absolute junk wheel bearings. Ruined my hubs etc when they let loose. Warranty doesn't cover all the damage they cause. I would never run them !!!
Try greasing your bearings before you install them. They probably only have assembly lube in them from the factory.

Half the time lifetime warrenty high performance parts are really shitty Chinese parts that they know 3/4 of people never use their stuff and the other 1/4 lose the receipts..
Great video Chris. Ilove your repair videos, and your positive attitude. No Polaris bashing regardless of the issues.
Love your setup in your garage. The videos are cool too.

What kind of lift is that? Nice
You should have mentioned the damage the barring did because you could not get it to fit without you having to fix it

And honestly where the cone shaped washer puts pressure on. Should not help prevent a failure more than the origional polaris one used should
How many miles do you have on your car
