What to Look Out for When Buying Polaris Ranger XD Radius Rods & Tie Rods

Ranger DX Radius Rod Types

Tubular Radius Rods

Tubular radius rods for the Polaris Ranger XD are crafted from lightweight materials like tubular steel or aluminum. These radius rods are geared towards enhanced suspension performance and are ideal for general off-roading since they're lighter than boxed or high-clearance variants. Yet, their structural integrity might be compromised during intense off-road sessions which is why a boxed radius Ranger XD 1500 radius arm setup is better.

Boxed Radius Rods

Constructed with a focus on strength, these  Polaris Ranger XD radius rods use more steel, ensuring durability and longevity, especially over rougher terrain. However, their increased weight can have an effect on the vehicle's agility and suspension responsiveness.

High Clearance Radius Rods

High clearance radius rods prioritize ground clearance, making them beneficial for terrains riddled with rocks or obstructions because they give you better Polaris Ranger XD approach and departure angles. Made primarily from sturdy steel, they're designed for challenging terrains but come with the trade-off of being heavier, and not nearly as stable as both boxed and tubular radius rods.

Radius Rods Installation Methods

There are two ways one can install a set of Polaris Ranger XD radius rods, weld-on radius rods, or bolt-on radius rods. Weld-on radius rods are known to require professional installation since these are welded directly to the Ranger XD 1500 frame. While they offer a secure and lasting fit, altering or removing them can be a demanding task because once you put them on, it’s difficult to take them off. Bolt-on radius rods are user-friendly options that utilize existing mounting points on the vehicle. Their easy installation and adaptability make them popular, but they might not be as enduring as their weld-on counterparts.

Build Materials and Durability

When selecting Polaris Ranger XD Radius Rods, focusing on build materials and overall durability is also immensely important. Consider steel for its reliable strength which makes it ideal for off-roading and low entry costs. However, its weight might affect the Ranger XD 1500's agility. Aluminum offers lightweight corrosion resistance but may compromise on high-impact durability. Chromoly, bridging steel and aluminum's attributes, is a balance of lightness and sturdiness. Lastly, titanium, although premium in both cost and strength, requires specialized handling, making it a luxury choice for the discerning Polaris Ranger XD enthusiast.
