Added OEM Polaris XP1K Trails & Rocks Edition high clearance lower A-Arms and Rear Radius Rods to my 2018 XPT






A-Arms:
1021482-458
1021483-458

Radius Parts:
Radius Rods 1543751-458 Need 2
Bracket Spacer 5262747-458
Bracket Spacer 5262748-458
Bolts 7520478 Need 4

Front A-Arms are a cheaper alternative to SATV and Highlifter. Adding the rear radius rods is actually more expensive, but bolts right on and no need to modify or clearance the trailing arm.

2017 XP1K T&R Edition the hardware is black
2018 XP1K T&R the hardware is a dark silver
2017 XP1K Highlifter the hardware is Blue
2018 XP1K Highlifter the hardware is black

I chose black as it's easier to upkeep, and makes a nice combo with the silver. I definitely did not want blue, way too much color IMO

Excellent info. This is something i was going to be doing.

$574.86 for the parts you listed from Partzilla.

I have the same machine and all the parts im buying are black as well. Not into making it a fashion show with matching colors. I got black tree kickers, black bumper, black seat belts, black mirrors, gonna have solid black seats, etc.

Yep, and those rear radius bars are Beefy. Are they worth the $172 each? I bet they are, solid bar and no hein joints is what I liked the most.

I ordered all those parts from Partzilla. Shipped super fast.

BUSHING-STANDARD 5452233

You would need QTY 8 to swap just the lower A-Arms

I wanted to add, that this part is mislabeled on some XP Turbo parts diagrams and correctly labeled on the XP1000 diagrams.

Good find and info, trying to get the silver off the 2018 model in high clearance arms and radius rods. How did you find the codes for high clearance and colors. I'm on Rocky mountain and see choices but can't chose specific model. Didn't see that option on partzilla either.

Thanks. That looks to be the parts numbers I got. So the hc is high clearance in the code. And yep silvers more.

I'm with you...I hated asking for a part number for the bushings from the OP, but navigating the Polaris parts schematics seem to be a little more involved than looking for motorcycle parts. Guess I know what i'm looking for on motorcycles before i even start looking.

Props to the OP again for laying it out so well.

I have been running those arms for about 5000 moles and the only issue is the rear arms are not rebuildable when the bushing goes out you have to buy another arm mine lasted abut 5000 mi and I changed them to ZBROS high clearance arms I reall liked the beefyness of the rear but was bummed when I could not rebuild I still run the fronts and Trail Armor makes a uhmw skid for the high clearance arms and they fit the front A arms fantastic

Finally got and installed my rear high clearance radius arms...so much for Partzilla and their fast shipping. I'm still waiting on 1 of the A-arms.

But man, those rears are definitely the shit. Solid steel, 1 bar weighs 10 lbs.

The right lower nut on the bottom at the frame is a muther to get to. Before i attempted to take the nut off, i made sure i could get a finger or two in there. Literally had to lube up the top of my hand/knuckles. I got stuck a few times and had a brief moment of panic. lol. Those oem radius arms were definitely put on before the engine went in the frame. If you got skinny, long fingers you'll probably be ok. My 2XL hands in gloves made it tough.

You’re not kidding, that was a tough one.

Any advantage of these a-arms compared to the 2” forward offset high clearance a-arms except for price? Or is there an OEM 2”offset arm from another model that fits the turbo?I wasn’t in the market for high clearance a-arms but this thread changed my mind.

It’s a shame about the non serviceable radius rod bushings. If they were serviceable, i’d look more into them. Appart from that, they look awesome.

Thats from the canadian 2018 rzr catalogue. Keep in mind, the advertised kit comes with all bushings and ball joints. A single arm, with no bushing is 162.49$cdn.

But the advertised radius arms in the catalogue dont seem to fit the 2018.
