I like my Ranger 570 but I have come to find out that Polaris cheaps out on a lot of things.
8 months in and all four wheel bearings plus both U-joints on the driveshaft failed. The u-joints were NOT GREASED. At all. Completely dry. Not even any assembly lube that I could detect.
Oh, and the driveshaft was improperly phased - apparently this has been a known issue for some time that Polaris hasn't bothered to address. Had to fix that. If you don't know the problems this can cause, look it up; it's a serious issue.
The solution seems to be avoiding dealer service and using anything but Polaris replacement parts if at all possible. I got SKF wheel bearings (made in Japan) and NAPA u-joints (made in the USA, seem to be repackaged Moog).
