Key Features

• Direct fitment: Designed to fit Polaris RZR 800 EFI 2008-2014 models and replaces OEM part 1823497 so buyers can expect compatibility with those model years.
• Complete assembly: Ships as a full steering rack gearbox assembly, which reduces parts hunting and speeds up the repair process for a broken or worn rack.
• Tie rod ends included: Comes with two heavy-duty tie rod ends that decrease wear angle and help restore steering geometry without sourcing additional components.
• Measured sizes: The rack measures about 34.17 in without tie rods and about 36.81-37.01 in with tie rod ends, which helps confirm fit before purchase.

Who It's For

This steering rack is best for RZR 800 EFI owners from model years 2008 to 2014 who need a ready-made replacement for a failing rack or gear box and prefer receiving tie rod ends already attached. It is practical for do-it-yourself mechanics and small repair shops that want to swap the complete unit without rebuilding individual components.

It is not suitable for owners of RZR S 800 or RZR 4 800 models, so those users should look elsewhere. Also, riders seeking an OEM-branded part or a rebuilt core with a long factory warranty may prefer an alternate source if factory branding or extended warranty terms are a priority.
