REPLACING RZR BALL JOINTS

REPLACING RZR BALL JOINTS

Dear Sarge,

I have an almost new 2016 Polaris RZR XP 900S. The fellow did some racing with it and broke the lower ball joint, and it sat like that for 4 yrs! I now have it and intend to repair it. I wanted to replace the ball joints with RCV Performance Ball Joints. However, after purchasing the car I can only afford to replace two and do two at a later date. So my question to you Sarge is,  when replacing rzr ball joints, should I replace the top or the bottom ball joints first?

Private Girly-Man, let’s just suppose I say to replace the upper ball joints, what becomes of the broken lower ball joint Boot? Do you operate that Zooter on 3 wheels? Of course you fix the lower ball joint! Not only because it is broken but the lower ball joints tend to break first which causes a lot of collateral damage. As soon as practical I would replace the uppers too. Pvt. Girly-Man, you will report to the Range Officer at Zero-Dark-30 and commence loading magazines in the ASP for the day’s exercises. Dismissed!
