Brush up on these quick facts and features about different UTV parts and accessories before choosing the one that’s right for you.
Rocky terrain, landing jumps and taking sharp corners are hard on your UTV’s suspension system. All that off-roading demands durable A-Arms – the part that connects the frame of your UTV to your wheels. By replacing your stock A-Arms with improved options, you can get even better performance out of your rig, like increased ground clearance, better handling, and stability during cornering and jumps.
A-arms are vulnerable to damage from rocks and debris, so strong guards are needed to protect them from impacts while you’re plowing through brush and over rough terrain. A very rigid material is key to a durable guard. Most are made of Aluminum, steel, or UHMW hard polymer.
Whether it’s steel, aluminum or chromoly, each guard material offers different advantages when it comes to durability and how lightweight it is. Shop from high-clearance A-Arms, adjustable ones, or extended A-Arms.
Most guards come in the form of aluminum or UHMW (Ultra-High-Molecular-Weight Polyethylene). While these guards are heavy-duty, they are also designed to be lightweight. Some guard designs are easier to install than others, so it’s important to do your research when choosing to ensure hassle-free protection for you UTV.
