Caltric shaft bolt washer nut for Polaris

Description

Product Overview

The Caltric shaft bolt with washer and nut is a precision‑engineered replacement component for the rear upper control arm inner pivot of Polaris Sportsman ATVs (model years 2011‑2015). Constructed from high‑tensile, heat‑treated steel, the bolt offers exceptional strength while resisting corrosion and wear in harsh off‑road environments. The included washer distributes load evenly, preventing deformation of the arm housing, and the matching nut provides a secure, vibration‑resistant clamp. This part matches the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, ensuring a seamless fit without the need for additional modifications.

Usage

Designed for the rear upper control arm inner pivot, this bolt is installed during routine maintenance, after a crash repair, or when the original fastener shows signs of fatigue. It is ideal for owners who perform their own service, as well as professional mechanics in ATV service centers. The component is compatible exclusively with Polaris Sportsman 850 Touring models produced between 2011 and 2015, making it a targeted solution for that specific vehicle generation.
