The company builds around specific OEM failure points on Polaris and Can-Am machines — radius rods, tie rods and ball joints — rather than covering every category thinly. It is also why this kit's spec sheet names the bearing construction, the bearing fitment and the spacer alloy instead of leaving them to the imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFinish Your 12mm Bolt Polaris RZR Rear Radius Rod Setup\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVerify the bolt size at the radius rod mount first — 12mm for this kit, 10mm for the 2014-2016 version — and pick your finish, machined finished or Type 3 Hard Black Powder Coat. After the arms are on, book a rear alignment so the adjustable uppers actually get set, and look at what the arms bolt into, since the mount is where load goes next. Matching rear tie rods and spare 5\/8 bearings are the companion parts worth having on hand before your next trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [\n    {\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Why do the factory rear radius rods flex on a 2017.5+ Polaris RZR XP 1000?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"The stock arm is the soft point in the rear suspension, so it absorbs deflection that the rest of the car will not.
