The Hot Rod RZR Mod

Well after 5200 miles on the ole Geterdun RZR. She was overdue for a little fix. We had a awesome ride Saturday and then it was up on the jack stands on Sunday. The tabs where the front A Arms mount had lots of wear. So the one and only Hot Rod fixed me up.....THANKS JAMES!!!!!!!!!




BEFORE..





AFTER

Put new bushings, and a pivot tube on mine yesterday. The lower A arm still has a lot of slop in it. Aggravating. I guess the holes have opened up. I like Jame's fix.

Lookin good Kev! Hate I missed u. Wanted to see ya bud!

Awsome

The last couple times that I have changed mine. We grounded off the pivot tubes just a bit. I think the trick is a good seal. Mine is sealed and tight as its ever been now.......

Daddy James strikes again.

If that would have broke through, it would have not been pretty. Looks like it was getting real thin.

I'm doing mine this weekend. I was wondering did James mig or tig it? Also did u have to remove the steering rack or was there enough room to wrap a blanket (welding) around rubber on the rack n weld tabs with it stil installed? N washers on inside or outside, I can't really see which side they r on?

Just clean up the tabs and Mig weld. No problems with the steering rack boot. NO washers just build it up and grind back flat........

Great idea...looks good

My holes r a little oblong so I do just about everything else to it. Might as well do that as well. Now I'm making a chain saw rack for the s rear bars, what a joy!

Oh, thanks Geterdun, that answered my ?'s now to do it, I've been so lazy when it comes to turning wrenches this summer also only ride twice this summer. What a lazy azz!!!!!

That was only my third ride this year. I knew if it didn't get done there wouldn't be a forth.......And trust me it really sucked working on that thing Sunday when we could have been riding.......

its ready now!!

email me those pics

Thanks for the tip Geterdun. Haven't put it all back together yet. Will pull the pivot tubes and take a little off.

Hot Rod Rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bump for finz

Cool

A little more info on installing SuperDaves raer bushings in that their apparent quality is very good with regard to a consistent interference fit on all components. And, I'm making the WVHRR/GETERDUN fix to all left side mounting flanges as well as to two right side mounts. BIG breakdown avoided. Given these new bushings are grease-less it'll be interesting to see how those wear surfaces are affected. In my case I expect over-tightening mounting bolts to reduce slop, as well as, the grease/dirt interface accounts for the wear. We'll see.
