well, let's see...and your getting this from a half-blind ol Engineer...

Front A-arms:

The upper only has a zerk on the front mounting tube.

The lower has a zerk on each of the mounting tubes.

There is a zerk on the upper ball joint and the lower ball joint (I'm taking this from my RCV Performance ball joints, can't remember on OEM)

The new style CV Joint driveshafts shouldn't have one on each the front and rear CV Joint. But I understand they have a U-joint in the center and it probably has a grease zerk.

That's all I can think of, and that's all I've been doing on my 16 General Deluxe.

Someone will tell us if I missed one or two.

Thank you sir!!

 

I have a 2018 G4 the grease fittings I have found are: Rear Stabilizer right-left one each = 2, front stabilizer bar right-left = 2, Drive shaft off transmission 1 so I have so far found only a total of 5. Polaris abandoned the a arm grease fittings I think in 2017. If others have found more please advise us where they are. Thank you!

 

Page 2-12 in the service manual shows seven on the G4. two on the front stabilizer bar two on the rear stabilizer bar and three on the propshaft yokes. I am not sure if there are actually three on the prop shaft since they did the recall on them to solve the clunking noise in some units. The photo shows one in front middle and rear on the shaft.

 

My 2017 has the updated prop shaft and has 3 zerks on it.

 

Probably correct. I removed the front sway bar. I have CCI Driveline propshafts with three CV Joints, so no zerks. And I'll have to look at the rear sway bar.

Thanks for chiming in fellas, I'll check my machine today.

Roadrunner I am also in Casa Grande. If you want to send me a PM with your number I would be willing to get together with you and get you a copy of my manual if you want it.

 

PM sent! Thanks

 

I went out and looked at my prop shaft on the 2018 G4 and I can not find any grease fittings at the front, mid mount and rear. I believe these are all now CV joints and are sealed requiring no further lubrication. I will check with my Dealer Service Mgr to be sure. The only ones i found were the ones I mentioned previously.

 

The zerks on mine are for the front/rear splines and one in the center for the carrier bearing. The joints themselves are in fact sealed and do not require further lubrication. Although mine is a 2017 Deluxe, so maybe the 2018s are different.

 

I managed to snag some pictures when I got home. First on shaft yoke next to trans notice it is a cv shaft. Second up through hole in center of the skid plate. Yoke of 2nd cv. Third yoke and cv up front does not have zerk.

Thank you guys for all of the help. It makes being a newbie at owning one of these beasts way easier!!!!!

 

Matt thanks for putting up the pictures. I have both shaft set ups in my 2018 manual and the same pictures as yours. On the Polaris parts web site my General 4 model shows both shafts, but a serial number break shows what mine has what appears to be CV Joints rear, mid mount and front. Yours must still have the mid mount bearing set up.

 

Roadrunner I took a little time last night and looked at my unit and I found the same thing you did, only one fitting. I will be taking my unit in to the local dealer today for a warranty issue and i will confirm that what we are finding is all there is for grease fittings.

 

I found only the rear fitting on my 2018 G4 on the drive shaft.

 

I have a 2018 G2 and can only find 3 zerks. Let and right front seat bar and rear drive shaft.

 

Are there not 2 grease zerks on each of your swaybars where they mount front and rear?

 

Ok I found the ones on the rear sway bar. So I found 5 in total. Thanks!

 

I've got the 2017 hunter edition. I have the updated drive shaft. I can only find 1 on the middle of the drive shaft accessible through the floor panel on inside. Than 2 on the front sway bar mount. That's it???

 

Should be 2 on the rear sway bar also if i remember correctly.

 

Nope. Not there. I checked again today. I have only the three.

 

The ones on the rear sway bar are hardly visible as they are on the front side of the frame where they are mounted.

Sorry for doubting you guys. Found the ones on the front and rear sway bars also the one on the rear drive spline and the middle. That is 6 total. Thanks you guys!!!

 

I recently removed my skid plate and lo and behold I found two more grease fittings on the drive shafts between the two pillow block bearings. Very difficult to find with the skid plate in place! Look for the two U Joints and you will find the two grease fittings in question!

 

my 2020 general has four that I can find 2 front swaybar and two on driveshaft

 

Where in the world are the two front sway bar zerks on the 2020? I felt all around the mounting bushing and did not feel any. If you dont mind taking a picture of where they are I would greatly appreciate it. I am doing my 50Hr/500Mile maintenance right now and they seem to be eluding me the most out of everything.


Also if someone knows how in the world I am supposed to "lubricate" the steering that would be very helpful as well. I am not seeing any zerks on the steering shaft/u-joints, as well as what to use and what to lube in regards to "General Lubrication: Lubricate all fittings, pivots, cables, etc." as per the service manual?

 

Hello guys, I am having trouble finding any grease zerks on my 2020 Polaris ranger 1000 eps. I know this isn't the ranger forum as I have had no luck on that forum. I am new to side by sides and not very mechanical. I have read the whole owners manual and cannot find anything about grease zerks. Any help would be appreciated.

 

I don't know much about the rangers, but maybe they are similar in their methodology. So I would read the thread above and watch this guys video and maybe it'll put you on the right track. Hope this helps!

 

2020 XP4 here, no front zerks. Seems they removed them, much like most people do with their front sway bar. I'm going to be removing mine.

 

I had assumed there were none, but had to confirm I may eventually remove my front sway bar, but out here we can drive them on the road, so I am not sure I want to loose the stability on the hard stuff (especially since I dont have a trailer and "drive" my machine to every trail that is not directly accessible from my house).

 

My 2020 G2 premium still has them in the front
