Hello all, just picked up a 2015 X and am loving it compared to my 06 Yamaha Rhino, but its not perfect and could use a little TLC.
One main issue with it, is the steering has the "typical" play in it, I've read all over this forum.
I have about an inch of play in either direction, after centering the wheel, before the wheels start to turn.
I noticed the felt pad is coming out and bunched up on the passenger side of the sliders. and what is happening when I turn the steering wheel, is the entire slider assembly is turning/spinning slightly before it finally stops, and then transfers the movement to the tie rods to move the wheels.
I've watched 2 videos about replacing the slider assembly and it doesnt seem hard, just time consuming.
So my question is... Is it worth getting in there to replace the felt pad and realign/tighten everything up by doing the process I've read on here (when you loosen the bolts and turn the wheel to one side, then tighten them back up) or should I just throw down the cash and purchase a whole new upgraded system from 715 wildcat riders and be done with it?
Or is there another option, besides 715's kit that I'm not aware of?
Thank you for everyone's opinion on this.
