Description
The Shock Therapy Polaris RZR XP Race Rack and Pinion is a high-quality and durable rack designed specifically for racing. Unlike stock rack and pinion systems, this race rack requires the use of aftermarket tie rods that utilize 5/8 Rod Ends on each end.
The inspiration behind this product came after experiencing a catastrophic failure of a factory rack during a race. While aftermarket replacements were available, they had their own issues, such as increased bump steer and the risk of reduced front end component lifespan.
To overcome these challenges, Shock Therapy designed their own race rack with several unique features. The rack is constructed from 7075 Aluminum, which is almost as strong as carbon steel but costs three times as much as the more common 6000 series aluminum. It is also hard anodized plated to prevent wear and extend its internal life.
One of the standout features of this race rack is its dispersed grease passage lubrication system. With just a single grease fitting, it feeds six different spots in the rack through a network of internal passages, ensuring proper lubrication and preventing wear. This rack also boasts a huge 1"x1" square rack gear, twice as thick as the stock round gear, preventing bending and breakage.
The pinion gear is made from heat-treated 4140 Chromoly material, ensuring superior strength and longevity. The pinion bearing system is also carefully designed to prevent tightness and slow down rack function.
The rack also offers a faster steering ratio than the factory rack, rotating the wheel just past 3/4 of a turn from center. It uses high-quality 5/8 rod ends for the tie rod pivots and features a patent-pending "Taper Lock" jam nut system that locks the jam nut and rod end in place without the need for welding.
Furthermore, the tie rod clevises are made from solid 4130 Chromoly and come in different options to fit various tie rod systems.
With all these features and attention to detail, the Shock Therapy Polaris RZR XP Race Rack and Pinion is the ultimate choice for off-road racing enthusiasts who demand durability, performance, and longevity in their rack and pinion systems.
