The Mega is what happens when that design is taken as far as the geometry allows: the same threaded housing and chromoly stud, scaled up past the point a factory A-arm can accept.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBefore You Order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck two things: that your A-arms are machined for Mega housings, and that your model year falls inside the fitment above — the XP 1000 window is narrow. If your arms are stock, order the standard Keller joint for your specific Ranger. If the boots are torn but the joints are sound, the Keller boot replacement kit covers this Mega. If the joints are worn but the housings are good, the BJKM-P-MRG option in the Keller rebuild kit for Polaris services them.\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\":\"What actually has to be modified on the A-arm?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The Mega housing is larger than the bore a factory arm provides, so the arm has to be machined to accept it.
