Quad bike steering stem parts

Match the steering assembly and bearing location

Use the full model, year and variant, then compare the manufacturer’s application and reference for the steering assembly. Check any stated upper or lower position. If the stem or front end has been changed, establish what is fitted now before selecting parts for the original vehicle.

Separate the bearing kit from the wider job

Check the listed bearings, seals and any other contents for the exact kit; do not assume it supplies the stem or every surrounding part. For neighbouring component groups, use frame and body, suspension or other suspension parts.

Does a steering stem bearing kit include the stem?

The kit name identifies bearing parts, not a complete steering stem. Confirm the stated contents before ordering, especially if you need more than the bearings themselves.

Can I choose by the bearing’s appearance?

Use the bearing reference and documented application first. Appearance alone does not establish the required dimensions, position or compatibility with the steering assembly.

Are upper and lower steering bearings interchangeable?

Do not assume that they are. Follow the positions and applications stated for the exact replacement. If the information does not identify the bearing you need, resolve that point before ordering.

Will new bearings cure any steering play or stiffness?

Those symptoms do not identify a single failed component. Have the steering assembly assessed before choosing replacement parts, so the order is based on the part needed rather than the symptom alone.
