Description
Can-Am Defender HD10 RackBoss 2.0 Rack and Pinion
If you've put real miles on your Defender, you know how the steering starts to feel loose and sloppy. A worn-out rack and pinion makes every turn feel vague, and frankly, it gets old fast. This RackBoss 2.0 unit tightens things back up and keeps them tight. Built with dual bushings at each end of the rack, it cuts wear down by more than half compared to what comes stock on your machine.
What Makes It Last
The secret here is the design. Instead of a single bushing, you get PTFE bushings at both ends of the rack—that's what keeps play and slop from creeping back in. SuperATV engineered this specifically so you can run bigger tires and handle rough terrain without watching your steering get vague again in six months. Grease fittings built right in let you flush out the mud and water that'll wash into the steering box when you're working hard. That's maintenance you can actually do yourself.
Tie Rods That Hold Up
The tie rods here are steel, swaged tube construction—7/8" diameter with 16 mm inner ball joints and 14 mm outer ends. That swaged design means the tubing doesn't flex or fail under the kind of hits your Defender takes on rocky trails or uneven ground. You get real strength without loading down the front end with unnecessary weight. Whether you're just trying to beat out your stock setup or you're on it regularly, these tie rods deliver.
What You Get
One complete RackBoss 2.0 rack and pinion assembly with tie rods, ready to bolt in. Installation instructions are available separately to walk you through the job.
