If you dive it hard in deep mud or sand you will break the oem cv's I broke my front cv with 28'' mudlites. Be safe and go with gorilla axels that what I did they are worth the price.

 

I have 27" and I broke the joint. Left rear.

 

I had 29.5 Outlaws on mine and broke a CV every time I went mud riding. Both rear and one front. I have also broken both rear axles with my 26" Bighorns.

 

I'm telling yawl go with gorilla axels you want be disappointed

 

i broke both fronts...stock tires.....less than 30 miles...

 

shafts ok.....cages busted

 

I broke a couple stock rear CVs but I haven’t broke the gorillas yet.
I did tear the boots all to hell this last race. It was just a little ruff.

ive been a kawasaki guy until now, im seriously thinking about getting a rzr.. are they THAT easy to break, or is just from really hammering on that throttle? and do you think with a 2" lift and some 30" silverbacks, the gorilla axles will hold up? i guess what im asking is whether its the angle of the joints when lifted (short a-arms im sure on a machine this narrow), or just bad quality cv's...


i ride with a few sportsman 800's, they were really hard on the stock axles for some reason also. ive even seen them pop a few gorillas in the same stuff im still hitting with stock axles (same tires as them, 29.5's)..

 

i gotta brute force 650 that i never ride anymore...great machine but i like the rzr better... its not that the rzr is weak....you just ride it alot harder than you do a four wheeler.

 

I'm running 31'' outlaws with 3 inches of lift with no problems from the gorilla axels yet

 

I broke my front right with only 12 hours on it. Has anyone got them replaced under warranty?

 

i have 26" atrs rf replaced last week now lf making noise taking in tomorrow trail riding only!

 

I am currently tearing into my rzr right front. When I turn to the right the cv joint area makes a thumping grinding sound. The cv hub rubs against the axle on a turn and has made a scallob wear pattern on the axle. I don't know if this is normal, but I don't think it should. The ty rod looks straight. Have you got an idea.

It is not a matter of will you brake an axle it is more like when will you brake an axle. Go Gorilla, it is a must for the rear. You will most likely get by on the stock fronts.

 

That does not sound good. My ty rod broke out of the hub all at one time. It sounds like yours is definately broke and needs to be replaced. Mine was covered under warranty. The drive shaft was approx. $500 plus labour. I have read that the gorilla shafts are very durable. I think this is a serious problem or a design defect where there should be a recall on them. My other ATV's could handle alot more abuse than this one. Best of Luck AC_RZR

 

What we have seen is the cages are breaking thats why we started using the gear-one race cages for the rzr and have not had any issues since.

 

I lost all drive in the left rear at 24 hrs and 300 miles, polaris replaced the complete redisgned half-shaft under warranty, but of course the parts are back ordered about 3 wks. Its new part #1332444 and it only took a half hour to replace, after the B.O. wait.

 

My drivers side front inner cv were it slides into the splines has an excessive amount of slop in it about 1/4". Is this normal? Its been leaking a little just like the passenger side rear seal. I replaced the rear seal with the orange one and no more leaks it too has some play in it but not as much as the front one. What do you guys think, is the front gear case bad?

I'm currently replacing both inner and outer rt rear cv's. I'm certain the noise I'm hearing is a cv, though not sure. I cleaned out the outer first and did a good inspection, as well as can be expected, and all seemed to look good. So, for piece of mind, I'm replacing both cuz it sucks trying to clean out the greese in those darn things.:wall:

 

What was the noise you were hearing? I had a clicking sound in the rear and the dealer replaced the complete drive shaft. So far so good, its only been a couple of weeks though....crossing my fingers.

 

Have a rzr s with 30 mi on it and a broken front cv. Do they make gorrilla for an s yet

 

I recently pulled and cleaned my rt. rear outer cv. There are some nasty type of grumbling/popping to rt. rear of rzr, usually in a turn or transitioning a dune. The cage looked fine, though decided to go ahead and replace both gear and wheel side cv's for peace of mind. any one know which is most likely to go out? I have a Fireball +6 LT kit, stock wheels flipped, which I know is hard on the outers. thanx

 

I Got A Right Rear Cv Problem,the Cage Looks Alright,but It Has Slipped Out Of The Case And Won't Go Back In,i Think The Splines Must Be Stripped Or Something.wonder If This Will Be Under Warrenty?anyone Had This Problem

 

I broke my left rear too. That crap can't handle 40 feet of distance. Does anyone make a heavy duty CV replacement? I have upgraded to long travel, so my shafts are good already.

 

I run the 7" gorilla lift with the gorilla axles with 31" outlaws. The stock axles no way will handle the big tires. The gorillas work well but i have broken 3 of the 4. I have recently gone to turner cycle axles and can not break them at all. They run the same price just alittle longer wait to get them. Dont get me wrong the gorillas are good but they can be broken. Hope this helps and good luck.
