A failed rear prop shaft on a Polaris RZR Turbo R 4 leaves the machine without rear drive, and this genuine Polaris OEM rear prop shaft assembly is the factory replacement. Part 1337153 is the complete rear driveline assembly Polaris fits to the four-seat Turbo R chassis, built to original equipment specification so it installs into the stock mounts and yokes without modification or trimming.
Buying the OEM assembly removes the guesswork that comes with a used take-off shaft or an unbranded replacement. The length, joint spec and yoke geometry are the ones Polaris engineered for this chassis, which matters on a long-wheelbase four-seat machine where driveline angle is less forgiving than on the two-seat car.
Key Features
- Genuine Polaris OEM rear prop shaft assembly for the RZR Turbo R 4
- Direct replacement for the factory rear driveline, with no modification to mounts or hardware
- Built to Polaris original equipment specification for the four-seat Turbo R chassis
- Correct length for the Turbo R 4 wheelbase, which the two-seat Turbo R shaft does not share
- Supplied as a complete assembly rather than loose joints or shaft sections
- Backed by Polaris part identification, so there is no cross-reference guesswork at install
Built To Solve: Rear Driveline Failure On The Polaris RZR Turbo R 4
- Clunking, binding or driveline vibration that shows up under power
- A rear prop shaft bent or dented by a rock strike, hard landing or trail debris
- Worn or seized universal joints on an assembly that cannot be serviced piece by piece
- Complete loss of rear drive after a shaft or joint lets go mid-ride
- A used or unverified take-off shaft you no longer want to trust on long desert miles
Best For: RZR Turbo R 4 Owners Replacing A Failed Rear Prop Shaft
- Turbo R 4 owners who want the factory assembly rather than an aftermarket substitute
- Riders putting long dune, desert and high-speed miles on a four-seat machine
- Anyone returning a Turbo R 4 to stock driveline specification after impact damage
- Shops handling warranty-grade or insurance repairs that call for a genuine Polaris part
- Owners who want a known-good spare on the shelf before a long trip
If you are chasing added strength rather than replacing a failure, a heavy-duty aftermarket rear driveline may suit you better than the OEM assembly. If your machine is the two-seat Turbo R, this is not the correct shaft.

FAQ
What are the signs a rear prop shaft is failing on a RZR Turbo R 4?
The common symptoms are a clunk on throttle transition, a vibration that builds with speed, and binding or grinding from under the rear of the machine. A visibly bent shaft, play in a universal joint, or grease slung around the tunnel are all reasons to pull the assembly and inspect it before the next ride.
Can I replace just the universal joints instead of the whole prop shaft?
Polaris supplies part 1337153 as a complete rear prop shaft assembly, which is how the factory services this driveline. Replacing the full assembly also removes any doubt about a shaft that may have been bent or run out of balance by the same impact that killed the joint.
Does this rear prop shaft fit the two-seat RZR Turbo R?
No. This assembly is specific to the four-seat Turbo R 4 chassis. The two-seat Turbo R has a different wheelbase and takes a different rear prop shaft, so the two are not interchangeable.
Which model years and trims does part 1337153 cover?
It covers the 2024 RZR Turbo R 4 in Ultimate, Premium and Sport trim, and the 2023 RZR Turbo R 4 Ultimate. If your machine is outside that list, confirm the correct part number against your VIN before ordering.
Do I need special tools to install a rear prop shaft on a Turbo R 4?
Driveline work on a Turbo R 4 needs the machine safely supported, standard metric tools and a torque wrench, since the yoke fasteners are torque-critical. If you are not set up to support the car properly and torque the hardware to specification, this is a job worth handing to a shop.
How does the Polaris OEM prop shaft compare to an aftermarket heavy-duty shaft?
The OEM assembly returns the machine to exactly the specification Polaris built it to, which is what you want for a warranty-grade or insurance repair. An aftermarket heavy-duty driveline targets added strength for high-power or hard-landing use, usually at a higher price. Replacing a failure points to OEM; chasing durability beyond stock points to the aftermarket.
Why Polaris OEM
Polaris original equipment parts are the components the machine was engineered and validated around. For driveline work that means correct shaft length, correct joint specification and correct yoke geometry, with none of the fitment risk that comes from an unbranded replacement or a used take-off of unknown history. On a four-seat Turbo R, where driveline angles are less forgiving, that precision is worth having.
Complete Your RZR Turbo R 4 Driveline Repair
Before you install this rear prop shaft, confirm your year, model and trim against the fitment list above, and check the rear gearcase and carrier hardware while the shaft is out — a joint that failed under load often took something else with it. This is a good time to refresh rear differential and gearcase fluid, and if the machine has been hard on driveline parts, pair the repair with heavy-duty axles to address the rest of the rear end at the same time.
