Sway Bar bushing gone...
So is it common to "loose" sway-bar bushings?
My rear passenger (ok rear right if you are sitting onit) bushing is GONE, I noticed a weird clunk sound and sure enough metal-on-metal when flexing or going over bumps
This sure didn't take long.. ~10hrs and first issue.
So is this a common problem or what?

After viewing the latest video that was posted, I'd be thinking that Polaris can take quite a bit of movement OR is that when you "tore up" a few of your bushings Mr. Bill!MrBill wrote:If it is turned 90deg. It will tare it's self up. I have a couple that are cut but not tore up so bad that they are gone.
They need to be turned so the cups in the bushing take up the movement.

Perhaps they were over torqued to start with?ToddW wrote:Ha no rpoblem guys.
I'm going to the ATV place today gonna bug`em to give me some bushings
Or even not tight to start with?
Ken; my floaties were still at the truck because of the line of sight rule.
I can see the truck so I don't need the extra 5 gallons of gas

Just to verify this the cups need to be facing the tires and the inside correct?MrBill wrote:If it is turned 90deg. It will tare it's self up. I have a couple that are cut but not tore up so bad that they are gone.

For the record it was warrantied site unseen and i'm getting a new one in a couple days.
