Front CV Axle for Polaris Ranger 800 XP 2010-2014 - Durable Drive

Our review of this Front CV Axle for Polaris Ranger 800 XP focuses on practical riders who need a robust replacement drive half shaft without mystery fitment claims. The axle is clearly aimed at owners of Polaris Ranger models from 2009 through 2017 in the specified trims, and the single biggest reason to buy is its chromoly construction that promises higher load capacity and reduced vibration compared with generic replacements. This review looks at fit, construction, installation and realistic limitations so a buyer can decide if it suits their Ranger.

Key Features

• Chromoly steel construction: Made from 4340 chromoly, the axle is designed to offer stronger load capacity and improved buffering to reduce drivetrain noise under load.
• Front left/right compatibility: Supplied as a front left/right drive half shaft option, it fits the front position on compatible models for straightforward replacement.

Who It's For

This axle is best for Polaris Ranger owners who need a close replacement for a worn or damaged front CV axle and who ride stock-height vehicles. It fits many Ranger XP 800 4x4, Ranger Crew 800, Ranger 800 LE/EFI and certain 500 and 700 models when the factory part numbers match.

Riders with lifted machines, custom suspensions, or non-standard modifications should look elsewhere or consult a specialist, because the product is not intended for use in lifted vehicles and fitment is limited to the listed model years and configurations.

Pros & Cons

Pros
