Additional ATV / UTV Applications

This hardware kit may also fit other ATV and UTV makes and models utilizing a matching M14×1.5 steering-rack mounting connection. Compatibility is determined by the steering rack's mounting specifications rather than vehicle brand alone.

Important Fitment Note:

The bolt that threads directly into the steering rack is M14×1.5 (14mm diameter with a 1.5mm thread pitch). This kit is intended for steering racks utilizing this exact mounting specification, with compatible bolt engagement, adapter dimensions, and clearance.

Will not fit M16 steering racks or M14 steering racks utilizing a different thread pitch.

This kit requires an aftermarket 5/8" heim-joint steering system with an appropriate outer rod end for an OE-style tapered knuckle opening. Will not fit with an OE tie-rod assembly.

Always confirm steering-rack mounting dimensions, thread pitch, and steering system compatibility before installation.

Features

Heim-Joint Steering-Rack Adapter

Designed to convert factory steering racks utilizing a compatible M14×1.5 mounting bolt for use with 5/8-inch heim joints. This allows you to build or install a custom heavy-duty tie-rod steering system without relying on the factory-style inner tie-rod connection.

The common M14 mounting configuration offers compatibility with a variety of Polaris RZR and other ATV/UTV steering applications equipped with the correct M14×1.5 threaded connection.

Heavy-Duty Clevis Design

The clevis-style adapter securely captures the heim joint between two mounting points, providing a strong and properly supported connection at the steering rack.

High-Tensile 1144 Steel Construction

Each adapter is precision machined from high-quality 1144 high-tensile steel for excellent strength, dimensional stability, and dependable performance under demanding off-road conditions.

Precision-Machined Fitment

Every component is accurately machined to provide consistent steering-rack engagement, correct heim-joint alignment, and a secure installation.

Durable Black Protective Finish

The rack adapters feature a durable black finish that helps protect the steel against moisture, dirt, and corrosion while providing a clean, professional appearance.

Complete High-Strength Hardware

Includes the required M14×1.5 steering-rack mounting bolts, heim-joint shoulder bolts, and matching locking nuts for a secure and dependable installation.

Installation Notes

The factory steering-rack boots may require minor modification so they can properly wrap around the clevis-style adapters while continuing to protect the steering rack from dirt, water, and debris.

Carefully trim or modify only the necessary portion of the boot. The boot should remain securely positioned around the adapter after installation.

This kit utilizes an M14×1.5 steering-rack mounting bolt (14mm diameter, 1.5mm thread pitch). The correct hardware configuration, bolt engagement, and adapter clearance can vary between vehicle models and production years. Always verify factory steering-rack specifications before installation.

Professional installation and a complete steering-alignment inspection are recommended.

Description

This adapter kit provides a strong and precise solution for converting a factory ATV or UTV steering rack to a custom 5/8-inch heim-joint tie-rod system.

Featuring an M14×1.5 steering-rack mounting bolt, this kit is designed for compatible Polaris RZR and other ATV/UTV applications utilizing this common mounting specification.

Although originally developed for Polaris RZR applications, its versatile design allows use on other makes and models with matching M14×1.5 steering-rack connections, provided the adapter geometry and installation clearances are compatible.

The heavy-duty clevis design supports the heim joint from both sides, while the high-tensile steel construction provides the strength required for aggressive trail riding, racing, rock crawling, and vehicles equipped with larger tires or upgraded suspension components.
