Power Steering 709401921 by Can-Am

Genuine Can-Am Power Steering — OEM Part #709401921

Loose, heavy or wandering steering makes every ride tiring and less safe. The genuine Can-Am Power Steering restores precise, factory-feel steering on your Can-Am ATV or side-by-side, fitting the original column, rack and linkage.

The steering wheel or handlebar, column, rack, tie rods and power steering unit all affect control. Play or binding in any one part shows up as vague or heavy steering. This part is confirmed for 15 Can-Am models from 2016 to 2017. See the full fitment list below.
