| Ay Pickett last week I hit a rock with my right frt wheel. hard Sheared the grade 8 bolt off in the heim joint/ tie rod end. Fixed it in short order on the trail, but had to hold to the left the rest of the day. Well this evening i took the rack off and the cast housing of it is broke. But with the rack off the rzr and turn the switch on the steering wheel just spins to the right non-stop. I called my buddy at the dealer and he said the power steering unit is jacked up. So here's another $1800-2000. Any suggestions???? | |

| If it's a Polaris EPS it "hunts" for input. With no steering attached I'd think that's what you're getting. I'd fix the rack and then see what happens. | |

| I agree with Chris, retrofit a unisteer and forget the Polaris unit for that kind of dollar difference. Sorry bout your troubles. | |

| I suggest pouring less Coors Light on it after getting it fixed. I am almost certain that will result in more longevity to your parts. Granted, at the cost of a lot less fun! :D | |
