Crapy a-arm bushings...

I changed wheels and tires today. Feels like I am gonna need bearings soon (800 miles).

Is this okay with you guys. It is not with me. Hell they should last longer then that

Don't get me wrong. I love my machine but I should not have to replace bearings and bushings after a 1000 miles. I am not just talking about the RZR. The Rhino was not great about bearings. But my A-arm bushings last two years.

is it ok with me. not really. 1000 miles is not bad but 200 there has to be something that caused them to go bad. my rhino would go through 2 sets of bearings a summer. and bearings are much more $$$ than the bushings on the rzr and the rhino bearings are a pain in the ass to change. i had to change the front bearings on my LE rzr at around 1300 miles and was much easier to change.
you also have to look at what these things go through. i know mine goes through hell every time i ride it. all the mud and water,sand and the bushings move a lot more on the rzr than a rhino because you can go much faster in the rough trails because it has more power and rides much better.

You sold me. I'll just change the damn things out and continue to have FUN!!!!!!!!

Ronnie has so much SAC that he wears out his bearings at 200mi......

When your sac hangs to low, it will create drag and cause extra where to the RZR parts.

200 would def suck. I really dont like the fact that there are only one bearing per wheel. Taking into consideration how we, I ride, the RZR is taking a lot more of a beating, than my Rhino. That said moving parts are gonna wear quicker. my 02

"Skint back, letting the low side drag."
