Other Steering & Suspension
About Other Steering & Suspension
This group takes the steering and suspension parts that do not sit in one of the named categories, so it is mixed. The samples include shock shaft bushings, steering rack boots, a shock service kit, rear suspension bushing kits, a spring adapter kit, fork dust seal kits and a radius rod plate for the Polaris RZR Pro XP.
Because the contents vary, read the title for the part and the machine. A few listings are for machines other than UTVs and ATVs, such as a steering cable for a Kawasaki JS800 SX-R and a linkage bearing kit for a Yamaha Super Tenere, so check what the title names. A steering rack boot covers the end of the rack, and a torn boot lets dirt and water in. A shock service kit supplies parts for rebuilding a shock, not a new shock. If you already know the part type, a named group is faster, for example Tie Rods & Steering Linkages, Forks & Parts or Shocks & Coil Overs.
Brands in this category include EPI, SDI, WSM, SKF and Race Tech. Pick your machine in the Ride Finder at the top of the page for anything that depends on year, make and model. The group is part of Steering & Suspension.
FAQs on other steering and suspension parts
What kinds of parts are in the Other Steering & Suspension category?
Parts that do not fit the named steering and suspension groups. The samples include shock bushings, steering rack boots, shock service kits, rear suspension bushing kits, a spring adapter kit, fork dust seal kits and a plate for the Polaris RZR Pro XP. Read each title for the part and the machine.
What does a steering rack boot do?
A steering rack boot is a flexible cover over the end of the steering rack. It keeps dirt, mud and water away from the rack and tie rod joint. A torn boot lets contamination in, so a cracked or split boot is worth replacing. Boots are listed left or right for particular machines.
Is a shock service kit the same as a new shock?
No. A service kit supplies parts for rebuilding a shock, such as the seals and wear items, and the shock body stays in service. The sample is listed for a 36 mm body shock, so match the kit to your shock's size and make.
How can I tell if a shock bushing is worn?
With the machine safely supported, check the shock mounts for play or knocking, and look for a bushing that is cracked, flattened or out of its seat. A loose mount can clunk over bumps. Match the replacement bushing to the shock's mount size and your machine.
Why are some listings for machines other than UTVs and ATVs?
The group mixes parts, and a few are for other machines, such as a steering cable listed for a Kawasaki JS800 SX-R and a bearing kit for a Yamaha Super Tenere. Always check the machine named in the title, and use the Ride Finder to narrow the list to your own.
