If you have never used EPI u joints on your 98 or earlier Sportsman500 please dont! They will not make it through one ride I ride approximately 10 miles this week end on a brand new set of EPI u joints in the deep mud, and broke two of them! Any one know were you can get some stronger u joints for the Sportsman? Any help would be appreaciated.

 

Neapco 1-1275 and Neapco 1-1875. These are the OEM u joints and can be picked up at you local bearing supplier for about $15

 

I did not know EPI had joints.

You mean Erlandson Performance Inc?

Wonder if they were aftermarket or OEM Polaris?

 

Well they do and they SUCK!!!!!!

 

Have you discussed this with them?

Are they seling OEM or aftermarket?

 

They are selling aftermarket U-joints for about $30. I have used them also, and they did not last one weekend. If you compare the actual surface area of the needle bearings, you will see why the neapco is a superior product.
