SuperATV Rhino 2.0 axles are heavy-duty front and rear replacements for the 2009-2010 Polaris Ranger 500. 4340 chromoly construction and a 4mm larger shaft give them nearly two times the strength of stock, according to SuperATV, so an older Ranger 500 gets an axle that outlasts the original.
Parts for an older Ranger 500 get harder to find every year, and a worn stock axle is usually due for replacement anyway. Rhino 2.0 axles use an all-chromoly build, puncture-resistant boots and maximized CV joints designed to run cool at high articulation angles. Choose Front or Rear; each axle is sold individually.
These Polaris Ranger 500 axles cover both ends: the Ranger 500 front axle and Ranger 500 rear axle are listed separately. If a 2009 Polaris Ranger 500 axle or a Ranger 500 CV axle has worn out, a Polaris Ranger 500 axle replacement with a Rhino 2.0 gives you a heavy duty Ranger 500 axle in chromoly. Owners wondering how to change CV joint on Polaris Ranger 500 models often find a complete axle is simpler than a Polaris Ranger CV joint replacement, and owners asking about the best axles for Polaris Ranger 500 machines get an 18-month warranty here.

FAQ
How do I know my Ranger 500 axle is going bad?
Clicking while turning, vibration or a torn boot are the usual signs of a worn CV axle. Replacing it with a Rhino 2.0 gives you a new chromoly shaft and new CV joints.
Is this stronger than the stock Ranger 500 axle?
SuperATV rates Rhino 2.0 axles at nearly two times the strength of stock, with a 4mm larger shaft and end-to-end chromoly.
Which years does it fit?
The 2009-2010 Polaris Ranger 500.
Which OE axles does it replace?
Front 1332606 or 1332856, and rear 1333233, 1333008, 1332814 or 1590476.
Should I change the axle or just the CV joint?
A Rhino 2.0 replaces the complete axle, shaft, CVs and boots, so there is no joint rebuild to do. SuperATV's Ranger differential spacer instruction sheet for this axle is linked below.
What warranty comes with it?
SuperATV backs Rhino 2.0 axles with an 18-month warranty.
Why SuperATV
SuperATV designs, engineers, manufactures and tests its Rhino 2.0 axles in-house, using CAD analysis, lab testing and real-world trail testing before release. Every Rhino 2.0 axle is backed by SuperATV's 18-month warranty, longer than the one-year norm SuperATV cites for the industry.
Keep Your Ranger 500 Working
Choose the front or rear axle and confirm your OE number against the list above. On an older machine, check all four boots and the ball joints while you are in there.
