NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT: PRO RMK Steering post bushing option

POLZIN · Oct 19, 2013

This is my solution to the problems with the steering post bushing assemblies.

These like the other offerings eliminate the radial slop and total failure common in the stock bushings.

The major difference in this design is the poly bushing and slotted mounting holes. The slotted mounting holes eliminate the linear play (up and down) in the post as well.

This is an application specific modification to the bushing assembly I have utilized in the rider select delete kits I have been making since 2007 so this is a long proven and tested design.

These include new SS socket head cap screws

They are available by contacting me directly or Next Level Power Sports

See my post in the parts section for pricing

Thanks for looking

Super clean work as always.

What is the material for the bushing?

Does it need lubrication?

.

POLZIN · Oct 21, 2013

Bushing material is type 1 chemical resistant PVC same as the rider select delete kits you will be familiar with . I did put wheel bearing grease in the bore on mine but lubrication should not be required. Since Ive never had a request for a replacement bushing on my older kits I can only surmise that they last a long time.

I chose this material for its combination of mechanical properties, chemical and UV resistance.

I did forget to mention in my original post that these do include SS socket head cap screws.

So are you running set screws in those smaller top holes to hold the bolt vertically in the slot?

POLZIN · Oct 21, 2013

These pictures are the prototype set I have on my own sled but that was precisley my thought . I intended to use set screws in order to maintain the linear adjustment but having installed a couple sets I determined that they will not be nesessary and they are not present in the production model.

Its amazing how much better they are over a new 2014 I have here. They are a very high quality part and you certainly will be able to notice the improvement.

Just got my set in, Ordered 3 and received them promptly.
Install was a breeze and it's a very nice fit/finish and the best part is how great the steering feels!

One of the best mod's my 14 has seen!

POLZIN · Apr 9, 2014

First I would like to thank all of you who Purchased these throughout the season. This is how I fund my addiction so without all of you It just wouldn't be possible.

I will be in the process of moving our 2 machine shops into 1 much larger facility so as the season comes closer to its end and I embark on that enormous project I will not have much time to dedicate to making parts for a couple months. So If you have been considering a set now is the time! I will run one more batch next week and then I must focus my efforts on the move etc. and once again thank you all very kindly and sincerely !

Great looking pieces!
My stock 14 had considerable slop after about 500 miles
Is there any reason these would not fit the 15s?

POLZIN · Apr 9, 2014

I have it on good authority that will fit the 2015s

Just installed Polzin Steering Post Bushings on my new 2015 PRO and I have to they fit awesome and I was able feel a noticeable improvement even on a brand new sled.

I ordered a set from Polzin and received them promptly and the quality of the replacements are outstanding-
If anyone is on the fence in needing this or not- pull a stock one out and look at the 1/8" of wear that Polaris gives before the stockers start to wobble/
Great product- easy to deal with and shipping is fast! couldn't be happer with this purchase.

We we need to order 3 of these to replace all of the bushings?

Sage Crusher · Nov 18, 2014

I was told yes you can but the 2 main ones one the vertical steering post are the main ones that receive the most abuse/ pulling-pushing ect..

I would be happy to sell you all three But the two in the upper steering shaft are really the problem the lower of those two is prone to breaking if you hit something in a turn and the combination of two bushings removes the radial and vertical play in the shaft /bars . I recommend moving the aluminum backer plate from the lower bushing on the upper shaft to the bushing assembly on the lower shaft for insurance. That one is rarely a problem that I am aware of.
