Hello there,

Front diff of a sportsman 500 HO 2013;

I changed my hub bearings and the pinion bearing, put it all together for a ride … was still leaking, had some play on the shaft. I put it apart again and did a few search:

2013 Polaris SPORTSMAN 500 HO (A13MH50AJ/AQ/AX/AZ) Drive Train, Front Gearcase | Babbitts Online
#19 …

I’m I right thinking there is something between the top pinion and the differential case? Something that would make the top pinion sit tight on the case? Because as for now, if I put it back as is, there is enough play so the seal leak (even if it’s a new one).

Polaris want me to buy the whole thing … quite stupid for a ~3$ steel bushing…

Any idea?

Thanks,
