I just want to say "Thank You" it was this video that gave me the confidence to go ahead and replaced the crush bushings on the stabilizer bar by following you and your advise on how it is done. I was able to complete the whole project in a few hours. With complete success!! Thanks again...
That is great news. That is what I do these video to help people that wants to try to fix their own ATV. That makes me want to do more videos. Thanks for the comment.
Well, I changed mine this weekend with your encouraging video. No wi-if or cell service up at the farm, so had to ‘un tighten’ (lol) quite a few connections to get things back together. A few more tips: 1) Do NOT try thus without the powered 90° wrench. You’re wrists will hate you. Thankfully I took two air driven powered wrenches, and one shot craps early in the disassembly process. 2) Use grease!!!! These will last a lot longer. 3) Do the brake (right) side first as he does. You’ll get the bad words out early, and the left side will be super easy. 4) Get all your tools on the floor early, your knees and hips will thank you. And get a comfortable pad to sit on. GREAT video!!!
Really appreciate the video. Helped me figure some things out. I have an 06 Sportsman 800 and the only big issue I had was getting both stabilizer bars on. I had to leave the upper a arm disconnected from the hub on both sides until I had the stabilizer bar on both sides. Like you, I was getting noise and found almost all of the bushings were gone. I ended up replacing all the bushings including the stabilizer bars and both drive shafts as well. Thanks for a great reference video!!
thanks for the great vid! i need to do my bushing before this summer. Doesnt look as scary of a job now that i watched this. always helps to see someone else do it first!
You Da Man. Saved me a ton of time watching your video to replace the upper steering bushing. Knew I needed to replace the lower rear wheel bushings but on inspection, need to replace em all. Thanks Dude. Go Chiefs!
Thank you for sharing your time, knowledge and experience. I have watched several of your videos and I must say they are well done and that I have enjoyed and learned a lot from from them. Will be doing quite a bit of maintenance on my 2004 Sportsman 700 in the next few days with replacing all 4 axles, bushings, fuel pump and fuel lines and lubricants. Have a little anxiety but also looking forward to diving in and getting it done. Thanks again Michael for sharing your time and expertise. God Bless and keep them videos coming !!
Straight to the point and simple explanation. I have a customers 2005 Sportsman 500 and all his bushings are gone. His brakes were very bad and the ATV would not idle. After finally getting those brakes working again and swapping out the fuel pump and selector switch, I still yet have the oil and filter change, I will be looking forward to your next video.
Great video, brother. I replaced my axle last weekend and watched several videos. EASY job, but no one mentioned in their video that you will ABSOLUTELY need to replace 6 of the bushings. The 4 fat lower ones (2 inside, 2 outside), AND the two for the top of the hub assembly. When I disassembled it, several of them were completely disintegrated. I watched your video to see exactly what I need. Keep up the great work. I appreciate it.
I was able to replace the rear upper and lower control arm bushings on my 05 Sportsman 500 without removing the axle from the transmission. I removed the shock, then the lower a arm bolts, then the forward a- arm mount to the transmission case. This allowed me enough wiggle room to get the bolts safely past the CV boots without damaging them. On reinstallation I simply reversed the direction of the forward upper a arm bolt.
Thank you brother for sharing this.... I have a 2000 ..... And my bushings are completely missing....lol....and the bottom a arm was scrubbing on the rim....smh.... Now....thanks to you..... I can do this job.....❤
@@thebasshunter definitely! Especially an easy job like this. Places would charge a fortune to do this job I’m sure. I’ve now done the front and rear bushings. I think my next project will be the CV boots. Thanks!
great video sir. you got a bit lucky getting the axle out so quickly. I have a 2004, the Polaris dealer gave up so I fought with it for 3 days. My CV joint came apart and it was a pain in the neck getting it out. my friend told me it should just pull out.... nope not after being in there for so long. anyway thank you you a very good video. I didn't know if my lower outer arm needed bushings on both sides of the hub assembly and now I know. thank you.
I’m sure you know the CV joint should not be that hard to come out. That was the first time I had removed my CV joint and you seen how it come out. But thanks I hope you get her fixed. It getting close to hunting season….
The inner metal rod that the bolts thred into are the a arm shafts. I called em rods, I learned while ordering my bushings after the vid gave me the confidence to do the job. I'm a mechanical man, just not a mechanic.
You can put the the long bolt the other way while it's disassembled so if you have to change them again, you dont have to take out the axle. I seen that on a polaris forum. Also lube the hell out of everything before you put it back together especially ifvyhrre are no zero fittings
That sound like the smart thing to do. But you don't want to get to crazy with grease. That just attracts dirt which will get trapped behind the bushing and wear them out quicker.
Thanks for a great how to video. I'm still struggling getting the axle shaft back in but I will get it. I would not have tackled this project if you hadn't shown the way.
Thank you for posting this walkthrough video. I just notice my bushings are completely gone on my 2005 Polaris 700 Sportsman. This was super helpful as well as posting the parts! Did it fix the squeezing!
Great video, and good sense of humor. I've got this to do, and surely it won't go as well as yours. Farm is 4 hours from home, so lets bet which tools, etc. I forget to take. LOL
I did this job not to long ago. I was not able to get one rear axle out. I actually had to fully remove the rear diff with axle in, then press it out from the other side with a hydraulic press. Even the press was struggling to push it out. From now on, all axles are covered in grease on the spline inserts. I guess after 18 years of being in there with out being removed once, it was STUCK!!
I see you grew up on Felix the Cat, hahaha.....reaching into his bag of trix ! Me too !!! Popeye say man, was my first sentence riding, standing up in the back seat of my mom and dad's car. Well, that's what they said.
Thanks for the video! I just ordered parts for my front A-Arm bushing replacement in 2001 Sportsman 400. I'll see how that goes and then tackle the rears.
@@thebasshunter Did the front yesterday, not too bad. Toughest part was cleaning the old sleeves out of the tubes. Now I have to figure out which kit I need for the rear and order it. Thanks again!
@@jennyparks776 That’s good. Just go to Amazon and type in your ATV and what you are looking for and it will come up. You need to get that back done quickly. Hunting season is upon us now!!!!
@@thebasshunter Finished up the rear bushings over the weekend. Took longer than I anticipated. It took a good hour to pull one of the axles. I didn't think it was ever coming out. the other axle pulled out after 4 pulls. Thanks for the video! Now its on to changing the brake pads and a few stripped hub studs.
Your videos are real good. Those bolts that required you to remove the axle are a pain. I'd cut the head off and pull them out the other way, then replace them in the direction they should have been. You could avoid a lot of work that way. Polaris has a few ornery bolts that cause trouble like that. I have used a piece of garden hose for front a-arm bushings. 🙄 Heated and
A friend of mine did his last month and he has a 2004 and he said it was pretty much the same as mine 2006. So I don’t think it will be any surprise. Good luck 👍🏽
@@thebasshunter I just order all new axles and bushings. Nice refresher for next weekend project. Have over 6000 miles on my 2012 500 ho. Not my first rodeo on it. 😜
why?! oh why would they put those upper A arm bolts in backwards? was planning on doing bushings without removing wheels and friggin axles but oh no. polaris wants us to go the long way. thanks for making this vid, i very much needed to see it.
my a arm dont fit with the spacers that come with the bushing kit, does it need those spacers or do i only use the bushings, btw great video helped a lot.
Yes the spacer has to be used. If you feel the bushings are to long. I would try sanding few mm off the inside of the bushing to make it shorter but use the spacers.
I just did this job on mine the other day and put grease on the bushings themselves before knocking them in. Inside and out. Wasn't a bad thing was it?
No, I don’t know why the don’t put grease fittings on all the bushing. They would not wear out so quickly. But not you did good. The only problem with putting grease on the bushing is grease attract dirt but I rather have grease than on grease.
Make sure it’s the right bushing for your ATV because you should not be having that problem. You may have to get a drill bit the size of the spindle and run that through there first or you need a different bushing kit.
Just Finished doing one side all the bushings were easy to put in just like you explained, but does the c clip have to be on the shaft when you put it in. I cannot get the shaft back in with the c clip on shaft do you have any tips?
It will go in there just get a piece of wood and put it on the outside of the axle and just tip it in but the c- clip has to be there. You might use a little grease if it's just that tuff.
Nice tutorial! But, I would like to state that reinstalling that bolt on the right side, long lower section, bolt just behind the tranny... it's a b#@!ch to get back in! But your video got be through this bushing replacement for my bike.
@@thebasshunter I have a polaris quad bike like the one you show in the video, but my problem is that the rear tires tread very badly and I would like to know if this would help or what else could it be?
@@ArthurYTM21 you could have bad bearings. Is both tires wearing bad or just one? Because there really is no adjustment on the rear tires. I would jack the ATV up and put the rear tire back and forth to see if you have play in those bearings. Or it maybe you just need to put more air in your rear tires. I run my tire kind of hard because I ride on the street a lot.
Had mine at shop , picked it up and noticed all the bushings where GONE! NOT THERE! Mechanic explained they where plastic and had deuterated and just turned in to like dust and when he rode it they where just GONE! So I thought somebody had got them , but I was wrong, he showed me another atv just like mine and I saw they were gone just like mine, he said it was common for Polaris atvs , and he did lots of them.
That is crazy how you not noice there are gone until it’s to late. I didn’t noice my until I was hearing loud squeaky noises coming from my rear end. And look and was like damn all my bushing were gone.
Just give a quick pull and it should come out. It’s just a metal ring around the shaft of the axle that’s holding it in. Or get a big screw driver and put behind the axle to pry it out. Just pulling on it should work fine.

So that square bar on the stabilizer that runs across it comes with bushing in the kit as well you didn’t show that part ?
Yes, that bushing is part of the kit.
Thank you sir
I’m having a problem where I can’t get the spindle to fit in the lower control arm After putting the new bushings in
Make sure it’s the right bushing for your ATV because you should not be having that problem. You may have to get a drill bit the size of the spindle and run that through there first or you need a different bushing kit.

How many buches u need to fix the whole thing ? Thanks
Most kits come with all the bushing needed to do the whole ATV. I can’t remember how many bushings are needed.
Changing these bushings also help to align the rear tires? since they are misaligned.
I guess it could a little. It would help with any vibrations or noises you might have in the rear end.
@@thebasshunter I have a polaris quad bike like the one you show in the video, but my problem is that the rear tires tread very badly and I would like to know if this would help or what else could it be?

You can get the bushes on Amazon. Have the link to them in the description under this video.
@@thebasshunter tks ! got them
Are all the front and rear a arm bushing plastic
Yes they are.
How tight is to tight do you just make them snug
You want to tighten them enough that it’s not crashing the bushing and the A-arm still move freely.
Had mine at shop , picked it up and noticed all the bushings where GONE! NOT THERE! Mechanic explained they where plastic and had deuterated and just turned in to like dust and when he rode it they where just GONE!

Those bushings need to be changed every year or, grease them as you should every couple of rides. That's why there are Zerk fittings...
Yes, you are right but as you know most people are just going to keep riding and not even go to think about those bushings.
What was trick to getting axle out?
Just give a quick pull and it should come out. It’s just a metal ring around the shaft of the axle that’s holding it in. Or get a big screw driver and put behind the axle to pry it out. Just pulling on it should work fine.
