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\u003eConfirm your A-arms are machined for Mega housings, or that you are having that done. If they are stock, the standard Keller RS1 joint is the right part. If the boots are torn but the joints are sound, the Keller boot replacement kit covers the Mega. If the joints are worn but the housings are good, the Mega 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.
