So I'm putting this out there..... I just did a bunch if wrk on a 4x4 truck and the steering was hiem joints! Any reason why it couldn't be fond on the trooper or why it shouldn't be seems like it would be a good upgrade

I don't see any reason why a good heims joint wouldn't work fine. In my opinion, any quality joint would work good provided its sealed from the dirt getting to the joints sliding surfaces. Most heims joints are not sealed and that would concern me. When I redid my A-frame heims joints, I put sealing boots around them to hold the greese in and the dirt out. Dispite heavy abuse, they are just as tight as when I installed them about 1500 miles ago. To assure their reliability, I went to a somewhat larger joint while I was at it.

GOOD Heims are the way to go.....I had them on my mud truck and they last and endure a lot of abuse over tie rods...I think heims are not street legal though. If you are going to reconstruct your joyner steering it would be the way to go....

      Is there a better performing higher volume injector than what they come with or what is the best replacement for the original?

      I have an Axis 500 4x4 UTV that I was given.  It looks like an almost new machine with 39 hrs on it however it was apparently under water from the hurricane . I have no spark at the plug. I have replaced the plug, the plug wire, & the stator so far. Can anyone advise me of what i need to check and or replace to get this thing running? Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

      I purchased a 2008 American Sportsworks Subaru TW265 UTV, with no manual and no previous knowledge. When idling, the steer column shakes uncontrollably, is very noisy, and might be from vibrations from the engine. Logically, I am thinking engine vibration moving up the steering column. I found a schematic, but that has not helped in identifying the specific problem.
      Any thoughts? Suggestions?
      Thanks so much

      I have a 2016 550, ive tryed the hisun website and seems i cant get parts there. I would like to add power steering, have seen a few "kits" on ebay
      for the 750 not sure if its the same parts needed for the 550, there is a factory bracket already welded to the frame above the standard steering rack, is this to be used
      to mount the eps motor? There is also a grey plug hanging just above the brake master cylinder, not sure if thats anything that needs to be used in the install.
      Handy with wrenches so if i can find the parts installing it shouldnt be a problem, anyone done this upgrade, was it worth it?
