Engineered for the 2019+ XP1000\/4 and 2017+ XP Turbo\/4 (64\") with the M16 steering rack, this kit replaces OEM tie rod ends with race-grade billet aluminum links that hold up to the punishment serious riders put their machines through.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 billet bar stock, the DRT tie rod kit is much stronger than OEM, lighter without sacrificing strength, and clears all components through the entire range of motion — even at full droop or compression, no contact with suspension or steering components anywhere in the steering range. Works in conjunction with the OEM M16 steering rack. 3-piece PTFE-lined 5\/8\" chromoly rod ends plus DRT's proprietary inner ball joint seal the OEM bellow, protecting the steering rack from water, dirt, and sand intrusion. DRT-spec stainless steel misalignment spacers and class 10.9 hardware provide the clamping force you need to stay on the trail. Finished in mil-spec anodized black with laser-engraved DRT branding. Made in the USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVehicle-specific fit — 2019+ Polaris RZR XP1000\/4 and 2017+ XP Turbo\/4 (M16 steering rack)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAerospace-grade 6061-T6 billet aluminum construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStronger than OEM with reduced weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull-range-of-motion clearance — no contact at full droop or compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with OEM M16 steering rack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-piece PTFE-lined 5\/8\" chromoly rod ends, left\/right adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDRT proprietary inner ball joint with OEM bellow sealing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e303 stainless steel misalignment spacers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClass 10.9 hardware for proper clamping force\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMil-spec anodized black finish with laser-engraved branding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined wrench notch areas for adjustability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplication: 2019+ RZR XP1000\/4 and 2017+ XP Turbo\/4 with M16 steering rack (64\" platform)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Aerospace-grade 6061-T6 billet aluminum bar stock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFinish: Mil-spec anodize (black) with laser-engraved DRT branding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRod ends: 3-piece PTFE-lined 5\/8\" chromoly steel, left\/right adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInner ball joint: DRT proprietary, seals OEM bellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpacers: 303 stainless steel misalignment spacers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware: Class 10.9 alloy steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstallation: Direct bolt-on — verify jam nuts tight with thread locker; paint check recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Made in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFitment\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEngineered for Polaris RZR XP platform (64\" \/ 2- and 4-door) equipped with the M16 steering rack: 2019+ RZR XP1000\/4 and 2017+ XP Turbo\/4.
