STEERING INSPECTION

Steering system components should be checked
periodically for loose fasteners
loose steering shaft U-joints
and general damage. Also check to make sure all cotter
r
pins are in place. If cotter pins are removed, they must
be replaced.
Replace any worn or damaged steering components.
Steering should move freely through the entire range of
travel without binding. Check routing of all cables, hoses,
and wiring to be sure the steering mechanism is not
restricted or limited.
Check front end alignment whenever steering
to
components are replaced.
Due to the critical nature of the procedures outlined in
this chapter, Polaris recommends steering component
repair and adjustment be performed by an authorized
Polaris MSD certified technician.
