Steering broke on my Switchback Assault

[Ol' Skool]

I was turning the sled back into the trailer tonight and turned the skiis a bit(not very hard), something snapped or let go in the steering linkage. I haven't pulled it apart yet. Is there a weak link in these sleds or any ideas? Stock Pro Taper bars with a 2"riser. Thanks.

Pull the outer tie rod boot on the right side on the bulkhead. The lower pivot is in there and jams with ice on my pro...easy access to a problem area

The plastic bearing carrier that hold the steering rod snapped in half. Garbage plastic. Wish Polaris would have put an grease-able aluminum one in there. Kind of a critical part. I see there are 3 of them on the steering assembly. Hopefully this doesn't happen again!

Theres some guys on snow west in the polaris pro ride forum that make replacements.

I heard that the plastic ones wear out quickly. I replaced all 3 with these:
