Buying Guide Rear Drive Line / Suspension

OEM vs. Aftermarket

OEM parts are direct replacements for the originals on your Xpedition. They offer a guaranteed fit and maintain factory performance, which is ideal for restoring functionality. Expectedly, aftermarket parts offer a wider variety of options. Depending on your needs, they can be built for increased durability, handling, or performance. Consider aftermarket parts if you want more flexibility with your upgrades.

Riding Style and Terrain

If you primarily use your Xpedition for light trails and recreational riding, OEM replacements or standard aftermarket parts might be sufficient. On the other hand, if you ride challenging off-road terrain, consider heavy-duty aftermarket components designed for increased strength and handling. While most drive line and suspension parts will withstand a decent amount of stress, you’ll need some upgrades for even other terrains.

Specific Needs & Installation

Identify the problem area (drive shaft, axles, bearings) that you need replacement parts for. This will help you save money on the upgrades as you’re only going for what you need. And if you're looking for a specific performance boost, it's wise to explore suspension kits that will give you increased ground clearance, upgraded shocks for better handling, or heavy-duty axles for increased towing capacity. Replacing some drive lines and suspension parts requires mechanical knowledge. Consider your abilities or factor in installation costs if needed.

Budget & Compatibility

The price of your replacement suspension parts vary for different reasons, including brand, part, etc. High-performance aftermarket parts can be more expensive but offer superior durability and performance benefits in the long run. Double-check part compatibility with your specific Polaris Xpedition model year because slight variations can impact fit.

Check & Upgrade These Parts

Drive Shaft: This vital component transmits power from the engine to the rear wheels. Symptoms of a failing drive shaft include vibrations and clunking noises.

U-Joints: These allow the drive shaft to flex as the suspension travels. Worn U-joints cause vibrations and difficulty steering.

Axles: Axles connect the wheels to the differential, allowing them to spin independently. Bent or damaged axles can cause uneven tire wear and handling problems.

Shocks: Shock absorbers dampen impacts and maintain ride quality. Worn shocks can lead to excessive bouncing and poor handling.

Springs: Springs support the weight of the UTV and contribute to ride height and handling. Upgraded springs can provide increased ground clearance or a stiffer ride for heavier loads.

Control Arms: These connect the suspension components to the frame and allow wheel movement. Bent or damaged control arms can cause alignment issues and affect handling.

Bushings: These rubber or polyurethane components cushion joints and absorb vibrations. Worn bushings contribute to sloppy handling and increased noise.
