Ooooommmpphh. That’s tough. I hope your beverage arm is like brand new. Boog.

 

ez steer comes with the replacement steering shaft ,it should slide on the rackzilla pinyon shaft . ez install & a good upgrade too. use your other hand for beverage consumption.

 

Direct install should have everything you need with the ez steer .

 

thanks guys I use this forum alot for upgrades and ideas. info is always good. With power steering beverage arm should be good. Just got back from a short 10 mile ride with the dog and a PIA turning and steering with this arm, Looking forward to upgrade. Beverage arm looking forward to it too. :commanderroll:

 

Hey guys, After surgery to get beverage arm fixed and ready to have a couple of my bud's install my EZ Steer ps unit while I watch and serve beverages simple question. As many folks that have installed them has anyone come up with a way to cover up the unit so it doesnt stand out so much when installed. looking for ideas or pics. Shoulder done and in rehab till Memorial Day so one armed driving bandit till then. LOL

 

Good question. Buried in a thread somewhere on here somewhere I remember reading that there was a Polaris cover that someone adapted as a cover. I don’t remember which Polaris. If you find the thread or cover, post back. If I find it, I’ll link it.

I added some notes (tips) to the instructions when I installed my ezsteer. I’ll take a pic and post it later if you want.

 

This is the thread I mentioned. There’s pictures of the cover on page 1 and installed pics on page 2.

Thanks I found them by looking up RZR power steering cover $9 to $18 on ebay looks better then nothing at all or a Crown Royal Blue Bag. Will get one from ebay and see how it works out. Any hints when we install it this weekend.

 

I had planned on making a cover or using the rzr cover but after I installed it, it didn't really look out of place to me. For some reason in photos, they look like a big wart, but not bad in real life.


As to tips, the instructions are pretty good but there were a couple of simple things that I scratched my head about for a few minutes. I'm putting pics of 2 pages of the instructions that I made notes on. The only thing I added to the other pages were check offs and reminders to go back and tighten the things left loose... I'll also try and take a couple of pics of the way the bracket mounts below the steering wheel and post up later.



The weirdest thing was that the bolt head and nut on the factory steering shaft at the u-joint were 2 different sizes, 5/8" and 17mm. Also, removing the gauge cluster made it easier and requires virtually no extra effort.


It's one of the best upgrades. They got the required steering pressure/resistance just right.

 

To go along with the notes in the previous post, here’s a couple of pics of the bracket on the steering column.

 

great pics thanks for the heads up. Like you I thought it was strange with the 2 sizes on the coupler I noticed that when I put in the new rackzilla, looking forward to see the difference. any changes needed in toe when you set it up

 

I didn't change anything. I just straightened the tires back up and put the steering wheel back on and test drove. I think I was one spline off with the steering wheel so took it off and put it back on and all was good to go.

 

All done, alignment done after a bit of adjusting toe for speed, 2 words F-----g awesome, why did'nt I do this first upgrade. Huge Difference, slow trails, fast streets, all good!

 

Glad your happy! How about the beverage arm?

 

Arm in rehab most they want me lifting is a 16oz. beverage, but 1 handed steering is good.

 

Best of luck on that recovery!! Sticking to the 12oz's you should be good to go.. :devil

 

12 oz and a coozie (2oz) all good on trail, 16oz yeti glass, ice,beverage, back at camp at end of day. LEFT HANDED lol. :icon_ peace:
