I have a 2000 sportsman 500 and the steering is very slopy! I dont think it is the tie rods. I think it is the bushing on my steering post rod. Any ideas or suggestions for a fix is very helpful.

 

Yes, HPD sells a better replacement bushing for the lower shaft. You will know it is bad if you have any up and down movement. Best to replace it with the HPD one than the factory, it is cheap plastic, the HPD is aluminum.
