I bought a 700 sportsman used.I noticed the front wheels lean in a little at the top.I have checked and nothing seems to be worn in the steering components.Is this one of the many unique characteristics of the polaris similar to all the squeaks rattles slaps and other things that are common?I also have a front rear end bearing gone after 185 miles in 2 1/2 days of hatfield macoy trails in W.V. this past weekend.This thing is nickel and diming me to death wiyh maintenance and up until now minor things happening. My question about rear end is where is the best place to buy [online] the bearing and everything else I will find wrong after I tear it down?

 

Front end needs heavier springs if you're not happy with the /\ look of your wheels. Polaris makes some that can be had for $50 a pair they raise the front about 2 inches and put the wheels l l , EFI makes some better ones that will cost you, or if it rides okay you can leave it alone.

 

its noraml for the sportsmans to start sagging in the front. you can also put in spacers and make it stiffer instead of putting heavier springs. just a thought.

 

Its normal for a Polaris. They come from the factory that way. The front wheels also toe out instead of in. Normal.

Which post/thread will give me some info on the spacers? I think I need to go that way. What do you suggest?

 

Hey hobbles, Pure Polaris carries two type. One is an adjustable pre load but they cost as much as new springs
pre load
The coil spring spacers are ceaper, around $16
spacers

 

i made my own hobbles out of cpcv pipe fittings and had about $5.00 invested. im cheap lol. check out moe pics in the my signutre box like on page 3 and see how i installed them.

 

Thanks reno82 and stendori I've got to do something. The inside of my tires are wearing down.

 

I am interested in the spacers but do they make the front too high? Does it look like the rear is sagging?

 

I read some where that some one used hockey pucks for spacers. I can't find the thread tho.
