Our passion for off-roading has led us to find solutions for broken or malfunctioning OEM parts and create improvements while giving the parts an impressive and attractive aesthetic. All of our parts are designed and made in the USA and come with a Lifetime Warranty. LM-UTV offers parts for both the Polaris and Can-Am's various models including tie rods, radius rods, and ball joints with more makes, models, and parts being added frequently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eUpgrade The Steering On Your 2014-2017 Polaris RZR XP 1000, Turbo Or RS1\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore you order, confirm two things: that your XP 1000 or Turbo is a 2014-2017 car rather than a 2017.5-2020 model, and, if you are on an RS1, that you are on this part number rather than LMU-STR-01-03. Then choose a finish, machined finished or Type 2 Black Powder Coat, and note that Custom lengths available by request if your car is running a non-standard front width. After install, get a front alignment so toe is actually set, and look at what carries load next in the steering path — the rack, the knuckles and the front ball joints are the parts that see what the old tie rod used to absorb. Spare 5\/8 heim joints and the stainless hardware are worth keeping on the shelf before a long 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\":\"My 2015 Polaris RZR XP 1000 darts and pulls after a hard landing — is the tie rod the cause?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"That is the usual suspect.
