NICHE CV Axle Boot Kit for Polaris Sportsman Ranger RZR — Front & Rear Replacement, OEM Fit

NICHE CV axle boot kit replaces worn front and rear CV boots on compatible Polaris ATV and UTV models to restore protection and prolong axle life.

This complete boot kit is designed to match the fit and function of Polaris OEM part numbers 2204361, 2204362, 2204460 and 2204459, offering a practical replacement option for a broad range of Sportsman, Ranger and RZR machines. The components are molded to resist grease leakage and shield CV joints from dirt, water and abrasion. Whether you service a single vehicle or keep spares in the garage, the kit delivers the critical parts needed to maintain driveline reliability.

Which Polaris models does this NICHE kit fit?

The kit covers many Polaris ATVs and UTVs across several model years, from compact two-seaters to larger utility rigs. It was built to be compatible with original equipment part numbers, helping installers achieve a near-OEM fit without guessing fitment.

• Matches OEM parts: Polaris 2204361, 2204362, 2204460, 2204459.
• Fits Sportsman variants: 400, 450 HO, 500, 570 (including Touring and SP), 800, and ETX models by year ranges given.
• Fits Ranger and Ranger Crew models: XP 800/900/1000 and Crew versions across listed years.
• Fits RZR models: RZR 800, RZR S 800, RZR XP/4 XP 900 and XP/4 XP 1000 where noted.

What parts are included and how do they protect the CV joint?

The kit includes front and rear boot components, clamps sized for secure sealing, and is designed to keep grease in while keeping contaminants out. Properly installed boots maintain lubrication, reduce wear and extend the service interval of axle components.

• Durable rubber boots molded to OEM-style profiles for reliable coverage.
• High-strength clamps supplied with a 0.36mm boot clamp gauge for correct tensioning.
• Sealing profile prevents grease loss and blocks dirt, water and grit entry.
• Parts engineered for straightforward replacement with standard tools.

How difficult is installation and what tools are recommended?

Installation is a typical maintenance-level job for anyone comfortable with basic axle service and using hand tools. Removing the wheel and axle is usually required; clamps must be correctly tensioned for a lasting seal.

• Recommended tools: jack and stands, pliers, torque wrench, clamp crimper or appropriate crimp tool.
• Expect to clean and re-grease the joint before fitting new boots.
• Use the supplied 0.36mm gauge to set clamp tightness and avoid overtightening.
• If unsure, a service manual or professional shop can ensure correct alignment and sealing.

How will this kit improve daily use or off-road durability?

Replacing worn boots restores the joint’s protection so the axle can withstand mud, water and trail debris without losing lubrication. That reduces the chance of premature joint failure and unexpected breakdowns while riding or working.

• Stops grease leakage to keep joints lubricated and functioning smoothly.
• Shields axle internals from abrasion and moisture, extending component life.
• Helps maintain predictable driveline performance under load or rough terrain.
• Affordable preventative maintenance compared with full axle replacement.

Who is this for: This NICHE CV axle boot kit is aimed at owners and mechanics of Polaris Sportsman, Ranger and RZR machines listed in the compatibility notes who need a reliable replacement for OEM boots. It’s appropriate for do-it-yourself maintenance, fleet upkeep, or service shops that want a cost-effective alternative to original parts without compromising fit or function.
