Polaris Ranger Questions, aftermarket seats

Recommended Posts

I'm in the market for a Polaris Ranger 700 or 800 with an aftermarket back bench to have a short and economical 6 seater. (child #5 is in the oven!) Going to look at this one this weekend even though it has more hours than I would like. Pictures show quite a bit of negative camber on the back tires. Is that indicative of a problem like CV axles bad or something similar, or is it because of the added weight of bench and full roll cage, or just a common situation? Seems like the CVs have to be replaces pretty often on the earlier model rangers?

I don't mean to hijack you post, but I think this might be relevant for you.

 

I keep hearing there is a push to ban seats in the bed of Rangers for safety reasons. Does anyone have information about this?

The negative camber CAN be indicative of worn bearings or joints, but can also be due to suspension, tires , etc...

 

Hard to know without looking at it directly. The suspension can be adjusted to compensate.

 

I have never worked on a ranger, but the rods/joints are usually very easy to replace and not expensive. I you are getting a good deal I wouldn't worry about it,. The "issue" is very common.

 

Rossi- That rumor has been around a LOONG time. THey lallygagged banned it in Cali( but heck, they have banned everything but kale salad) nad people have been worried it will eventually carry over to here. May still happen, but nothing hard on it YET. That I know of.
