I have 2004 vforce less than a month and have already bent the tie rods I have had other quads never have any of them had such heavy stearing!Just purchased the 4x4 vforce it turns easy in 2 or 4 wheel drive but the vforce turns hard it wears you out in about 3 hours of riding seam l;ike you are allways fighting thing.then going down a hill a tie rod bent they look very small for this big atv cant find any upgrades only cost 9.95 each for new ones very cheep any one out there having any problems?love the atv but think front end needs some work.

 

Did you say 4x4 v force.

 

my vforce 2 wheel drive is what im having the problem with my vforce praiere is so easy to stear in 2 wheel and 4 wheel mod dosent make any sence to me

 

I wonder why [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

its not a v-force prarie...its just a prarie, The v-force took the engine from the prarie however, but yes there is aftermarket tire rods out there...the reason why the rods are weak is so that it doesnt damage more expensive parts

 

seems to me like a poor design all the other atv ive rode steer nice.I can find kfx 400 tie rod upgrades but no kfx 700 i have all the dg fatty series protectors on it to help from geting things tore up

 

The tie rods are the weak point in the V-force front end, however replacing tie rods is much cheaper than relacing a steering stem. Somethings gota give.................[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Better check your tire pressure and / or the front end alignment (toe-in / toe-out) because the V-Force is not hard to steer when it is set up properly.

Although when I first got mine I found it didn’t exactly turn when I wanted it to but that was because the front tires weren’t making contact with the ground (just skimming the surface), so I quickly found out that I had to treat the throttle with a little more respect than I did with my Grizzly!

So far I haven’t bent my stock tie-rods in nearly a year of riding, and I enjoy aggressive trail riding. However when I go to places like the Hatfield McCoy system I take both my Grizzly and my V-Force and I use the Grizzly when we plan a route that includes really rocky trails…

 

ya the place we were riding was real rough and rocky pretty mean stuff i guess ill have to keep some spare tie rods with me but at at less than 10.00 each i guess i could stock a few.
