Good To Know

Q: How do I know if my Arctic Cat Panther 340 needs a new wrist pin bearing? A: Worn wrist pin bearings often show up as top-end rattle, uneven idle, or metal debris in the crankcase during teardown. Replacing the bearing whenever the piston or rings are serviced is a common practice.

Q: Is this wrist pin bearing a direct replacement for the original Arctic Cat part? A: It is made as a replacement wrist pin bearing sized for the 1973-1974 Panther 340 top end. Confirm your engine's wrist pin and rod bore measurements before ordering.

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