HIGH STRENGTH LOWER A-ARMS

If you drive aggressively, or carelessly, you can bend stock A-arms on many popular UTVs. Fortunately, many aftermarket A-arm manufacturers offer high strength lower A-arms that can get you back on the trail for far less than replacing the uppers and lowers, and often for less than the price of original parts.

TUSK MOHAWK EXTREME DUTY HIGH-CLEARANCE A-ARMS

AVAILABLE FOR: Polaris RZR XP Turbo, RZR XP 1000

FEATURES: Tusk Mohawk Extreme Duty high-clearance A-arms are made from larger, thicker tubing for greater strength. The design increases ground clearance and upgrades the weak points and limitations of the OEM A-arms. All 2014–2016 models will need to purchase the newer OEM-style bushing hardware. Introduced in 2017, the improved bushing design offers less resistance than the older polyurethane components and increased durability/longevity. It also incorporates an O-ring design that helps keep grease in and contaminants out. Due to this change, greasable Zerk fittings are no longer necessary. The 1.25 x .120-inch-wall tubing is 25-percent larger and 20-percent thicker than OEM A-arms. Additional 1.5-inch lower A-arm ground clearance. Ball-joint areas are built from thicker, precision-milled steel. OEM A-Arms are made from thinner, cast material prone to bending in extreme conditions. Available with or without bushings and hardware.

PRICE: $199–$339
