I got my rzr 3 weeks ago and already broken 2 rear axles. It was the rear drivers side. Is anyone else having problems like this? It is all stock. I love this thing but this is getting old already. If you cannot jump alittle hill (2 feet tall) then they should have said so. Please help me!:sad5:

Yeah, the only one's I've seen breaking are people that seem to keep the gas pinned when they land...

I've done a ton of jumps in mine already, and haven't broken a thing... I make sure to let out of the gas as SOON as I leave the jump.

I'm from a small town of 280 people there are three RZRs in town

One guy broke his L rear at about 600 miles.

I broke my left rear at 94 miles, had it two months.

Polaris rejected the warranty claim on both of them

That is weird i have not had any issues with mine either on stock suspension done some decent jumps and stuff i would be curious to see where the axels are breaking. as a side note as said before if you dont let off the gas before you land then you will break them

Took mine in yesterday with the right rear axle broke and my warranty ends in six days. Havent heard if it will cover it yet. They told me that if the cv boot was not torn , then polaris would cover it but if it was torn they would not. It wasn't torn when the axle broke, but having to drive it back twisted the boot all up - hope it didn't rip didn't look close enough. Still in suspense and under the mercy of the mechanics. All depends on how they wright up the warrany claim.

ive had mine at least 3 feet in the air, but i have a sandrail and know not to gas it on the landing, they will break axles or strip gears too... never broken anything..
