Ski Spindle Bushing Bolt Kit for Polaris Indy 400 1985-1991 Classic

Ski Spindle Bushing/Bolt Kit for Polaris Indy 400

This ski spindle bushing and bolt kit is built to fit Polaris Indy 400 snowmobiles from 1985 through 1991, restoring the pivot point where the ski spindle meets the trailing arm or radius rod assembly.

Overview

This ski spindle bushing and bolt kit for Polaris Indy 400 delivers the wear parts needed to tighten up a loose front end on classic machines. Over seasons of hard riding the factory bushings oval out and the spindle starts to wobble, so this kit puts the steering feel back where it belongs. It is aimed at riders maintaining or restoring 1985 to 1991 Indy 400 sleds rather than shopping for a new chassis.

• Replaces worn spindle pivot bushings that allow ski wobble and vague steering
• Includes matching bolt hardware to complete the spindle service in one job
• Direct-fit sizing matched to the Polaris Indy 400 spindle and trailing arm bore
• Restores consistent ski alignment and predictable cornering response
• Suited to seasonal rebuilds on vintage Indy chassis

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: How do I know the bushings need replacing? A: Play at the ski spindle, uneven ski wear, and steering that wanders are the usual signs on an Indy front end. If the spindle moves by hand with the ski off the ground, the bushings are past their service life.

Q: Can I install this kit without special tools? A: Basic hand tools handle the job once the sled is safely supported and the ski and spindle hardware are removed. Pressing old bushings out may take a drift or a press depending on how seized they are.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
