Rhino wheel bearings

blzrgb · Nov 26, 2012

Got an 08 Rhino that needing new wheel bearings.(front&rear) Would really like to convert to tapered bearings and found this......
www.rhinobearingconversion.com
Anybody here got any feed back about this conversion? Standard ball bearings can't handle the side loads the SXS's can create.
There's a topic about this on
rhinoforums.net
And also, southernsxsriders.net

Check out rhinoforums.net . You have to drill the axles and put pins in it to keep the axle nuts from backing out and some ppl have still had problems with them sheering the pins

Can't find a tapered bearing upgrade for the front.
A few are working on it though.

Yea nobody has a kit or a way to do it for the front yet because of the width of the bearing... I thought hard about doin it on mine but ive seen so many post about issues with the axle nut backing off and then the hub will either come off (04-06 models) or eat the brake caliper up (07-08 models)
