Update. Been on a few rides everything is still good. Havent had one single power steering issue since. May want to put some blue lock tight on the adjustment nut
I’m running those exact same tires with a 4” satv portals and a satv rack n pinion and mine has a lot of play/slop also…I’m going to see if I can do this to mine. Thanks for this video man
Could you stack a washer or two under the spring to increase the tension on that bushing?? The hole in the washer should allow grease to get through too.
Mine are fucked up. If u make the rack Greasable I wouldn’t even worry about it . But there’s a little channel on the rack the boot rides in…. It’s a major PITA to get on there
If you bottom out the spring tension, did you check the bearing? I found my bearing was completely gone on one side. Any idea on where to find a replacement bearing ? I can't find any.
I never even seen a bearing in it. I assume maybe there is one for that input shaft the steering wheel hooks onto but I haven’t had to mess with that part . Is that what your talking about ?
There are 3 punch marks on the aluminum nut to lock it in place. Do I need to do anything before I take the nut off? I don’t want it to strip the threads. Thanks for your help.
I’m sure u could but probably won’t help much. U would have to pack it very full of grease and then hope the cap pushes it threw when u put it on.probably just make a mess. It’s not hard to drill and tap the cap

U get it tightened up ?
Thank you! Mines doing the same thing. Nice to see it’s an easy inexpensive fix😉
Drill and tap the cap and run a bolt to put pressure on that rack bushing.
I think i have exact same problem going on. Thanks for the video
Get a washer for the top of the spring try different thicknesses good luck
There’s bearings inside that housing.. just change them out. Makes a world of difference..
Didn’t see any bearings and didn’t see any parts that Polaris even sold for it. What I have done has worked great. Still turns like Butter

I’m sure there’s a few things u could do in a pinch but I have access to a spring I think will do the job when needed
What lift is on that that yiu can fit 37s under it?
@@hunters7847 believe it’s just forward arms and tinder springs up front
Had an upgrade custom suspension but my steering rack boot is not connected,how I zip tie it to wat

I’ve removed 2 with no issues
Sounds good! Thanks
Can u just remove the nut and put gear oil or grease in ?

@@djnemesis82pluss1877 thanks ! I’m literally sore the next day from turning the wheel after a all day ride, I’ll give it a shot, thanks again
@@bubbasmith5142 looking forward to hear about the results
@@djnemesis82pluss1877 will do, I’m overseas at work, I get back I’ll give it a try, thanks

Its a common term up here in Canada with the Newfies.....I was confused too when they called it that
