Front Bearing Carrier Replacement - Polaris Sportsman XP 1000 S 2020 Service Manual

the bearings must be inspected visually, and by feel.

spots, discoloration, or corrosion. The bearings should
turn smoothly and quietly, with no detectable up and
down movement and minimal movement sideways
between inner and outer race.

roughness is evident.
