Demon Heavy Duty Axle for Polaris Ranger 500/700 - Front Left or Right

A broken axle ends the ride, usually far from the truck. The Demon Heavy Duty Axle for Polaris Ranger 500/700 - Front Left or Right is a complete, ready-to-install CV axle built bigger and stronger than stock, so you can keep riding through mud, rocks and ruts.

Witchdoctors sells genuine Demon Powersports parts. Demon builds heavy-duty axles, lift kits and suspension parts for ATVs and UTVs.

Why Choose the Demon Heavy Duty Axle for Polaris Ranger 500/700 - Front Left or Right

Demon’s Heavy Duty axles use dual heat-treated, high-strength chromoly shafts that are 15% to 20% larger in diameter than OEM, with CV joints 10% to 15% larger than regular joints. Wide articulation angles and a dual-plunge design help keep the axle from binding, and Demon says they fit 2", 3", 4" and 5" bracket lifts, portal gear lifts and A-arms from particular brands.

Fitment

Listed for these vehicles, per catalog listings (verify before ordering):

• Polaris Ranger 500 and 700 (including XP and Crew 700) 2008-2009

Always confirm your exact year, model, trim and position before ordering. Lifted or long-travel machines need parts matched to the lift or suspension kit.

How to Choose

• Match the axle to your exact year, model and trim, and to the position (front or rear, left or right).
• Stock-height machines use standard axles; lifted machines need axles built for the lift (Demon lift axles).
• Long-travel suspension needs long-travel axles sized for that kit.
• X-Treme axles suit big tires, high horsepower and aggressive riding; Heavy Duty axles suit most trail and work use.
• Replace torn boots early; a boot is far cheaper than an axle.

Installation Tips

1. Park on level ground, set the parking brake and support the machine safely on stands.
2. Remove the wheel, hub nut and brake caliper as your service manual directs.
3. Separate the lower ball joint or A-arm to make room, then pull the old axle from the hub and differential.
4. Compare the old and new axles for length and spline count before installing.
5. Install the new axle until it seats fully in the differential, then reassemble.
6. Torque the hub nut and all fasteners to factory specs, and recheck after the first ride.

If you’re not comfortable with suspension or drivetrain work, have a qualified technician install it.

Care and Inspection

• Inspect boots, joints and hardware after hard rides, and fix torn boots right away.
• Wash off mud and debris that can hold moisture against parts.
• Listen for clicking, clunking or vibration, which are early signs of wear.
• Recheck torque on fasteners after the first ride.
