I talked to my dealer this past weekend about the crappy tie rods ends. (He also races a speed and agrees about the tie rods). Well since his also a Polaris dealer he installed the rubber boot the fits over the polaris tie rods on his dale, this keeps a good bit of grease in and dirt/water out. So I tried and I would recommend going to your location Polaris dealer and buyin a set and sliding them over the tie rod ends.

 

Can we get the part number???

I think we all need it.

Thanks for the info.

yeah, a part number would be awesome...good job on the helpful hint! My Ricky Stator rods and ends should be here soon, I will be sure to post pics and reviews on what I find........JIM

 

Well this is the number that was on the bill P/n: 5410540. The salesman (Doug at Valley Atv Polaris in Danville Ohio) said that it is a standard part that is used on all the polaris quads. I paid $4.50 each for a total of $18. If you want to contact Doug here's the dealer's number (740)599-7977. By the way up have to cut a hole in them so the grease fitting can go though it. I find that if start the boot on the fitting and use some needle nose pliers you can pull the boot over, then poke a hole over the grease fitting so it can come thru. Hope this helps.

 

Thanks much, you got any pictures yet?

Thanks for the tip.

Thats one of the things I really like about the C-dales. They are easy to customize and make them look really sweet w/ all the aluminum on them.

 

I just went and picked some up tonight ($3.75). That is the right part #. I think he said it was for the 93-97 Polaris. The newer ones have a bolt hole in the top.

 

I've got 3 Polaris's and thought the boots might fit, I'll have to give it a try.
