i just got home with a 97 sportsman 500 with 1700 miles in great shape.it has one problem that will need immediate attention..the rear u-joint on the drivers side axle is broke..i searhed for a aftermarket part # but could not be sure of the numbers are what i need.anybody know the # ineed would be greatly aprreciated.. looking forward to getting this going.. yeee haaaaaw !!!

 

are the #'s you want for the oem? if so they are wheel side 1590257, gearcase end 1590256. sorry, dont know the afmkt #'s.

 

go to www.polarisoemparts.com to get oem polaris parts at a discounted price. I looked up the part numbers/prices but didn't know which rear ujoint you needed so here are both. hope this helps you out.

rear axle ujoint at FRONT 1590257 is $22.49, REAR 1590256 is $20.82

 

tuckerrocky has quadboss for 19.99 each either end. also, check out worldofpowersports.com for some parts, they carry for most brands. if ordering online the prices are always less than in their list. i get stuff from them all the time, cant find it in the fiche pages call, they'll look for you. the TR quadboss $ came from their site.

 

thanks for the fast replies..i usually buy factory parts and don't mind waiting for shipment...i have to buy through paypal so my options are a little limited..and i really wanted to put this machine in action this weekend .so i was hoping to find a ujoint that i could walk into my local napa or auto zone type stores and buy off the shelf at a fraction of the price... the closest polaris shop is 65 miles and with gas at 2.00 per gallon....anyway aftermarket ujoints are fine with me unless they are inferior somehow..... thanks

 

i ended up getting the right u-joint off the shelf for $12.. trw 20036 for the rear outside...works great!!!!!
