Rack and Pinions
If you own a Polaris ACE, you know how frustrating it can be to deal with unresponsive steering. Your steering rack may have a slight bend or hairline crack that affects the gearbox, or there may be a chip or fracture in the pinion gear teeth that causes them to slip. Debris around the steering knuckle above the rack and pinion can also disrupt your steering system. Even after fixing alignment and balance issues, you may still experience play in your steering system. The best solution is to upgrade your ACE rack and pinion, but finding the right parts can be tricky. SuperATV and Rackzilla make great rack and pinion units for the Polaris ACE that can solve any steering problems you may be facing. If you're experiencing steering issues, confirm that the power steering motor or sensors are functional before ordering a new rack and pinion. At Everything Polaris RZR, we guarantee your satisfaction with any product you order.

What to Look Out for When Buying Polaris ACE Rack and Pinions?
Rack and Pinions Sets vs Individual Upgrades
When in the market for a Polaris ACE rack and pinion, it's important to consider whether you need a full rack and pinion set or just individual components.
If you notice isolated wear, such as damaged boots, you might be tempted to replace only that part, as it’s easier and cheaper.
However, while individual upgrades like refined tie rods or steering racks can address specific issues, they might not achieve the overall steering improvement you desire.
Improving one component might also necessitate upgrading another to ensure optimal system function.
For the most advanced steering performance, a complete system overhaul is often recommended.
Heavy Duty Rack and Pinions
For different types of Polaris ACE racks and pinions, you should also consider heavy-duty options, especially if you frequently push your vehicle to its limits.
These are designed to withstand more power and stress, making them ideal for extreme off-roading and tough terrains.
They feature reinforced tie rods and robust pinion gears, ensuring durability but might sacrifice some nimbleness and high-speed steering finesse.
High-Performance Rack and Pinions
High-performance racks and pinions are your best choice if you are someone who wants agility and a driver’s feel.
Performance-oriented sets focus on driving dynamics, providing precise feedback and quick steering ratios.
While they might trade off some longevity, their driving thrill is unmatched, making them perfect for those seeking an engaging and sporty feel.
Build Materials and Durability
Premium metals like alloyed steel or aerospace-grade aluminum are commonly used to endure high steering pressures throughout.
Advanced coatings or treatments can further enhance resistance to wear and extend lifespan of your entire Polaris ACE drivetrain.
Investing in durable tie rods made from superior materials like steel, titanium, or Chromoly is wise, ensuring they can handle the rigors of aggressive driving.
