I am considering adding steering quickener or possibly a new rack and pinion but I know very little about this kind of thing. Anyone have any input?

If the electric assist is working than that is as good as it gets. You can check into after market systems but the quicker the steering responds the more effort it takes to turn the wheel ??? Good luck.🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I understand what your concern is, but have you ever really had an issue with it? If it were a maverick you may want less rotations.... due to speed/handling... but being more of a utilitarian rig I'm not so sure it's needed. Not having all the info on the mavericks steering box, maybe it has a different ratio and can be swapped.... might be something to look into... Again, GOODLUCK!!!

It turns sharper the my last utv plus if I’m feeling lazy on the wheel just punch the gas provided your not on your grass. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That thing was a nightmare to turn-trust me. I added power steering and it is now very manageable (used aftermarket kit-complete bear to put in). My 2014 Yamaha Viking has power steering and works as advertised. I just bought a 2021 Defender Limited and it is the Jaguar of SXS’s. In all ways, shapes and forms. So....the steering is wonderful.

That and their tie/radius rods are the first thing I do to every buggy I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
