Ok guys, after 70 hours and 900 miles the pivot bushings and sleeves were worn out and very loose, also both upper ball joints were worn out as well. I talked with the dealer and determined that they would not be covered under the extended warranty so I set off to replace the items myself. After purchasing a Delrin kit and new pivots sleeves I felt I was on my way to a tight front end again..... But this did not happen as I had expected.
I installed the bushings and sleeves and found that I still had movement fore and aft with both upper and lower a-arms. The quality and tolerance issues with this unit is very frustrating, I was hoping for much better quality out of the RZR 4 but I knew there would be some issues since they always go for the cheaper way of manufacturing but I had full expectations of the aftermarket items to fit much better and was very disappointed in the quality of fitment of items. I don't see the benefits of spending all of that money on the delrin if they don't tighten up the front end like it should be.
Also before you go telling me it is the bolt holes I can assure you it is not. I have checked those and they are fine plus with torquing of the bolts the bolts are not moving period.
Question is this what is everyone else doing to alleviate any movement in the a-arms and how often are you guys replacing your ball joints?
