The Arctic Cat anti stab on previous models (2015-2017) seemed to be plagued with failures. I'm not sure on the part numbers from the original on the 15 to the new 19's but just wondering if they have made an update to these? I have had failures on the 15 and the 16 M's and looking to replace however unsure if cat has updated the shaft/bearing issues or not. Also wondering about a comparison to the Ice Age anti stab and if its much better than the cat one? Have not seen any pictures or information on the ice age anti stab aside from the one picture posted on the Ice Age website. Any feedback or information is appreciated.

The stock one relies on just a snap ring to hold the bearing in place and has very loose tolerances on everything. Makes them very prone to grenading the wheels/bearings and things getting all out of sorts.

The iceage one has a sleeve shaft to lock the wheels/bearings to the center so it cant just pop out. Also. machined/anodized wheels and higher quality bearings and 7075 shaft.

Basically you are comparing a super cheap high volume production part with high end aftermarket product, so build quality isn't even in the same league.
