More than likely the indentation for the grease fitting is still there on the frame. Drill it out and tap it along with making a hole in the bushings like the older models had,add the zerk fitting and you can keep the upper bushings greased.Stupid that they discontinued this little part.Item #2.

Show to use different part number bearings for the front and also the rear. If you need to look up parts that can interchange use the Polaris Parts Catalog and on certain parts scan over to usage and click on it. Will show any models that use the same part numbers.http://parts.polarisind.com/Browse/Browse.asp
