Does the 2019 spindle is different then 16-18? If yes in what way.

I searched here and google and can't find the answer.

Thanks

Definitely a different spindle.

Not sure how it is different geometry wise or in mounting locations.

I wonder if we could use it on 36inches aftermarket a arms on pre 19 axys. And if it would be an upgrade.

i would need 2 see both of them side by side.

Thanks Murph

Looks like more caster so A-Arms prolly different too. Seems to me they are longer from lower a-arm mount to ski bolt.

May fit aftermarket, but if caster has changed, won't get whole benefit.

Polaris is making a kit to install new a arms, steering rods and shocks on the 16-18 sleds kit does not come with spindles. Don't know for a fact, but it was my understanding the changed the manufacturing process, but geometry is the same

19 Spindle next to a 18 I do not see a difference other than material/design. Same geometry and bolt up. The 19 A arms may have a slight different twist in the end to change things up a bit but still bolts up the same. I have the same Raptor 37R bolted up to my 18 and 19 spindles.

The bolt pattern and geometry is the same from the 16-18 style spindle and the new 19+ style spindle.

Yes the outside profile and design is different but they bolt up all the same.

Right on the money!! I also have the Raptor 37R front end and everything bolted up perfect! In fact it may sound strange but when I changed out the front end, everything came apart and went back together extremely smooth!!

Identical geometry and steering stops, just stronger, and more clearance for shorter a-arms.
