Can you take a quick measurement for me?

Anyone with a 2000-2001 RMK, I'm trying to find a rod end for an '02-'05 and it appears they are very similar. This pic is of my upper radius rod end, trailing arm side, it is RH thread 7/16x20 tpi. Is your Gen2 equivalent part LH thread with the RH threaded one on the engine side? Is the spacing the same on either side of the ball and what is the depth and bore, mine is .375 bore and a little under 1 1/16 through the hole. The Gen2 part # I'm looking at buying is 7061049 which claims to be the engine side RH thread 7/16x20tpi but I just can't get the seller to measure it for me.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

i had one of those break on me on the pipe side of the sled, i didnt wanna pay 50 bucks for a stock polaris part, so i just went to the local parts house that deals with himes joints and what not and had them match me one up, had to bush it with a piece of brass tubing, but its been like that for two seasons and has not failed me yet, so just an idea

Yea I think the oem part for me would be $38 and would take a month
There are a bunch on Ebay just none that seem to be exactly right. I've looked at all the aftermarket ones like Auroras, etc. but the spacers necessary would be an issue, rather just get as close as I can and the Gen2 ones look very close.

Thanks, Can you measure those distances for me roughly?

I can measure for you once I get home from work, I have aftermarket trailing arms and I'm not sure if the rods are stock or not.

Thread one mine are 7/16x20, Bore .375, spacing the same (no offset ), width .500 through the hole. Total length end to end 2.70 and I believe these are not stock.

Those are close, but overkill

Appreciate the effort everybody. Looks like it's rusty old junk on Ebay, top dollar oem, or spacers on aftermarket. At least there are options
