Polaris Bushings
I've owned several Polaris ATVs - mostly the older 400cc two stroke types but have experience w/newer Razrs as well. What gives with the ****-poor suspention bushings they are apparently still using? I know people w/2 and 3 month old Razrs already needing bushings all around. You would think they would learn.
The Japanese brands use bushings that tend to last the life of the ATV...This is one of the reasons I stick to Jap brands....they may be outperformed by Polaris but they at least continue to run and don't nickle and dime ya.

Keep them greased and they should be fine. Don't do routine maintenance and they will fail, along with any other moving parts. My 09 RZR had tons of mods and spent most of it's time in the mud/swamps. When I sold it around June of last year it still had the stock bushings and they were still in great shape.
