2003 660 grizzly turning radius

[gilleybear]

Hi
Does anyone know why my 660 2003 grizzly need 40 acres to turn this thing around and the 660 2008 grizzly will turn in half the radius? Checked both front end and they look identical to me.
Would like to fix if possible. Thanks

I was under the imperssion that they were all the same. Better tires on the 08 could make it turn better. I had an 06 and it turned about the same as my 08 700.

Just put on a new set of 26" swamplite and it turns the same as the original tires I had on. Thought that the pitman arm might be differant but the picture is the same but has a differant part number but that is just because of the year. I still have no ideal .

I guess I stump every one with this one? Would really like to find a solution. Does anybody have any ideals or places I can go for info? Dealer has no ideal.

I am talking about 2 wheel drive not even 4x4

Finally found the problem with the turning radius. The last owner forgot to tell me that he had 2 big bubble gum welds on both sides of the pitman arm about 1/4" thick. Ordered new pitman arm for it.
