Well, the 170 continues to be the biggest piece of **** that has ever sat in my garage. Took my 8 yr. old out yesterday to ride it for a few minutes and he got into a small mud hole with the front tires. Started to back up and the machine wouldn’t stop. Even after he let off the throttle it kept going in reverse. He was smart enough to turn the key off and stop it. I looked it over and didn’t see any sticks caught under the pedal or linkages. Started it back up and it seemed to be OK.

Rode for a few more minutes and I heard popping noises. Took it home and looked it over in the garage and noticed that the steering gear box housing is broken and is allowing the shaft to move around. :rollfinger: Checked Amazon for a replacement and it’s $460 bucks. WTF??

Polaris has never been known for quality but this is really p***ing me off. These things sell for $4k or more when new and they are nothing but Chinese junk.

Does anybody know where to get steering boxes for a lower price? I need to get this thing back together so I can sell this POS.
