Checking fences break time cheers!

My sportsman 570 identifies as a P570 so it’s all good even if I can’t be a honorary member of the upcoming P500 ride….

Ok, so I'm stuck. I know this isnt the thread for this, but I dont know which one is and a lot of people see this one frequently. P1K Had to replace both upper ball joints. They are all good. On one side, I had to remove the lower ball joint also so I could replace the bearing. Bearing pressed in fine. But, I can't get the lower ball joint to seat far enough in to get the snap ring seated properly in the groove. I even scraped away the powder coat on the back side so the lip of the ball joint would sit flush and as far in as possible. I thought I remember hearing that the P1K has common parts to a Honda car (Civic?) Is there any Honda automotive lower ball joint that is the same as the P1K? Mine is getting beat up from me taking it in and out and a new one might solve my issue. Any advice is appreciated.

Thanks TripleB. That's what I'm starting to think is to try to find one along the way and install once I get down to TO. Gonna fight it a bit more, but soon it's time to move on. Plan to leave at o'dark thirty on Tuesday.

Maybe a bit. Were supposed to leave in the morning. Trailer rolls and has a deck. Time for tie downs and trim. Kids under it wiring the brakes now lol. Then to the buggys. Pioneer has no suspension under it and the talon is still dirty from windrock. Hell im pretty sure mud from takeover last year is still on the pioneer lol.
