Alright my class fought and got the paper and presentation pushed back a day, so now i have this free time to waste (the "last minute" was reassigned to tomorrow night).

Anyways, i hope to get the wheel off tomorrow after school so i should be able to get that picture for you, Danny. And could you PM me your email address? I know it was on a post on this thread, but i've scrolled up and down this page ten times and don't see it.

Also, does anyone have experience with the Gorilla Axle CV boots? They look pretty tough, but some opinions would be nice: GorillaAxle Polaris Axles

Thanks all

If your are a light rider, the suspension won't squat down as far forcing the cv joints to run at a more severe angle. The more severe the angle the greater the twisting stress on the cv boot and the more the bellows rub together as the axle rotates. This twisting stress will eventually cause the stock boot to open apart sometimes without ever coming in contact with a stick, etc. even though it looks like a tear. Not sure why but it may be related to the quality of the rubber used for the boot. Polaris has a replacement boot kit (Polaris PN 2202629) to minimize this problem. This boot has a better design and uses a higher quality rubber. It will outlast the stock boot anywhere from 4 to 10 times longer. The same boot works for both the inner and outer joints on the Sportsman and it will also replace the front boots on all Polaris models and all years. The boot is universal and will fit most other brand ATVs. My local Polaris dealer was not aware of this boot so I don't know if your dealer will know about it.

 

Thank you Gup, that part number is exactly what i was looking for. I have a thread somewhere else asking for it, but here is just as good. That is what the dealer recommended, but he sent me out to get the part number. Maybe next time i'll try that one.

Was it created to solve this problem, or is it just a higher quality boot in general?

Thanks again
