SuperATV now builds and backs the line. The design has stayed essentially unchanged because it works: thread the housing in like a nut and bolt, use a chromoly stud, and make the whole thing serviceable so a worn joint gets rebuilt instead of thrown away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComplete Your RZR XP 1000 Front End Rebuild\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, confirm your model year falls in the 2014-2023 range and decide whether you are replacing one joint or refreshing all four. If your boots are torn but the joints are sound, a boot replacement kit may be all you need. If the joints are worn but the housings are good, the Keller rebuild kit for Polaris services them rather than replacing them. Riders doing a full front end at this mileage usually pair new ball joints with a fresh set of A-arms or a look at their tie rods while everything is apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Video\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOfficial SuperATV installation walkthrough with Todd Keller: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Mbt4iX4DWRA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eHow To Install Keller Ball Joints\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why do OEM RZR XP 1000 ball joints pull out of the A-arm?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The OEM joint is retained by a snap ring pressed into a groove in the A-arm.
