tight steering

[sparky s sled 700]

I've got a 99 polaris indy 500 with some tight steering. There is no damage to the front every thing is aligned that i can see. If it sits outside its almost imposible to steer but once I put it in the heated garage its turns but with a lot of resistance. could it be mosture in the grease or something else

I had the same issue, there is a bushing under the hood down by exhaust that never gets grease. you can take the steering shaft out and clean it up, If I remember correct. it was not a fun job, but that is where I would look

if its right there in the center Ive found it and greased, it but if there is another zerk down there i'll have to look Alrighty just went out there and found a zerk behind the engine on the steering shaft, seems to turn a lot better big test will see when it goes out in the cold thank you for your input

I think it is the only one for that, mine was real tight I had to pull it apart and clean with a wire brush, but if it took grease maybe it will loosen up for you

well that didn't work I see someone else is having a similar issue, looks like we'll have to tear into the front end and do a througho cleaning
