A little extra play in the wheel, a clunk over bumps, a machine that wanders on the road home. Eventually you realize the rack and pinion is worn out.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/ranger-570-fs-2016-rack-and-pinion\">Polaris Ranger Fullsize 570 (2016) RackBoss Heavy Duty Rack And Pinion<\/a>, from SuperATV&#8217;s RackBoss brand and available at Wild Boar ATV Parts, is a heavy-duty replacement made for the 2016 Polaris Ranger Full-Size 570 and Crew.<\/p>\n<h2>Why racks wear out<\/h2>\n<p>The rack and pinion turns your steering wheel&#8217;s motion into side-to-side movement at the tie rods. Every bump, rut and rock that pushes the front tires sideways sends force back into the rack. Bigger tires multiply that force. Over time, internal parts wear and the rack develops play, which is why steering gets vague.<\/p>\n<p>Steering problems are more than an annoyance on the trail. A loose rack makes the machine harder to control in ruts and on side hills, and it can make the Ranger wander on gravel roads. Replacing a worn rack restores precise steering.<\/p>\n<h2>What makes it heavy duty<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Includes 10.9 grade hardware<\/li>\n<li>5mm thick carbon steel mounting plates<\/li>\n<li>Rider tested<\/li>\n<li>Replaces OEM part number 1824429<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>High-grade hardware and thick mounting plates help keep the rack solidly attached to the machine, so it does not shift when the steering gets loaded up hard.<\/p>\n<h2>Important fitment details<\/h2>\n<p>This one has specific fitment, so read carefully. It fits the 2016 Polaris Ranger Full-Size 570 and the 2016 Ranger Full-Size 570 Crew. It does NOT fit the XP 570 with the formed PRO-FIT cage. It is for round tube cage machines with front strut suspension only. If you are unsure which version you own, check your cage and front suspension before ordering.<\/p>\n<h2>Install tips<\/h2>\n<p>Before removing the old rack, note the position of the tie rods and steering wheel so you can get close on reassembly. After installation, set your toe and check that the steering wheel is centered and the Ranger tracks straight. A worn tie rod end can make a new rack feel loose, so inspect those at the same time.<\/p>\n<p>Steering parts are not something to guess on. Confirm your year, model and cage style, and if anything is unclear, call Wild Boar ATV Parts at 850-912-4350. We will help make sure you get the right rack for your Ranger.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/ranger-570-fs-2016-rack-and-pinion\">Shop the RackBoss Rack and Pinion for the 2016 Ranger 570<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The RackBoss heavy duty rack and pinion for the 2016 Polaris Ranger Full-Size 570 and Crew uses 10.9 grade hardware and 5mm carbon steel plates.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10139],"tags":[],"yst_prominent_words":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31256"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=31256"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/31256\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31256"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=31256"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=31256"},{"taxonomy":"yst_prominent_words","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wildboaratvparts.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/yst_prominent_words?post=31256"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
