A-Arm UHMW Control Arms Bushing Kit for Polaris Sportsman - Durable

In this review of the A-arm UHMW control arms bushing kit the bottom line is simple: this kit is aimed at Polaris Sportsman owners who need a cost-effective, OEMmatching replacement that prioritizes smooth pivot action and longevity. The kit replaces OE CT-13 and includes sleeves and bushings made from UHMW material, which provides a built-in selflubricating surface to reduce wear. For riders who want a straightforward parts swap to restore play-free suspension without buying new control arms, this kit delivers clear value.

Key Features

• Wide vehicle compatibility: Fits a long list of Polaris Sportsman models from 2010 through 2019, making it a convenient one-kit solution for mixed fleets or multiple years.
• UHMW construction: The ultra-high molecular weight plastic offers a selflubricating surface that helps the control arm move smoothly and reduces metaltometal contact.
• Complete replacement set: The package includes 18 replacement sleeves and 36 bushings so both left and right A-arms can be serviced in one job.
• ISO-manufactured quality: Produced by an ISOcertified maker with 100% factory inspection to meet or exceed OEM requirements for fit and durability.
• Two year warranty: Backed by a 2 year warranty for added peace of mind after installation.

Who It's For

This kit is best for owners of Polaris Sportsman 550, 850 and 1000 models listed by year who need to replace worn Aarm bushings and want a quick, full kit that includes sleeves and bushings. It is well suited to DIY mechanics comfortable with suspension disassembly or professional shops doing routine suspension maintenance.

Those who should look elsewhere are riders after a metal or polyurethane upgrade for extreme offroad abuse, or anyone expecting detailed installation instructions, since professional installation is recommended and no instructions are included. Also, if absolute metal rigidity is required, metal replacement bushings may be preferable.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Good vehicle coverage across many Sportsman years, reducing fitment guesswork.
• UHMW bushings provide lowfriction, selflubricating action that helps control arm movement.
• Complete kit with sleeves and two bushings per sleeve lets you service both sides at once.
• Manufactured to ISO standards with 100% inspection and a 2 year warranty for reliability.

Cons

• Some customers reported mixed material feel and a loose fit on metal rods, so fitment can feel less snug than metal or polyurethane alternatives.
• No installation instructions are included, so professional installation is recommended.

Our Verdict
