Description
UMI Standard Replacement Bearing Kit for Steering Systems
The UMI Racing standard replacement bearing kit is designed to refresh the feel and longevity of most UMI steering systems. Over time, steering bearings are exposed to water, grit, and repetitive load cycles, all of which can lead to roughness, play, or binding. Replacing worn bearings with this kit helps restore the smooth, controlled feel you expect from a quality billet steering setup.
This kit is intended for all UMI steering systems except XP97 plus models. XP97 and later systems use four internal bearings and therefore require two kits to complete a full rebuild. By using matching replacement components, you maintain the original performance and tolerance levels designed into the steering system.
Application Notes
- Standard bearing kit for most UMI Racing steering systems
- Not for XP97 plus steering; those systems require two kits due to four internal bearings
- Recommended when steering starts to feel rough, loose, or inconsistent at the bars
- Helps extend the life of your billet steering hardware by replacing critical wear items
- Ideal preventive maintenance for skis used frequently in salt water or rough conditions
Why Replace Steering Bearings
Even the strongest billet steering components rely on small internal bearings to move freely. Once those bearings begin to corrode or pit, the system can feel heavy and imprecise. Replacing them on a regular schedule is a simple and cost-effective way to maintain control.
Whether you race or simply ride hard on the weekends, keeping your UMI steering properly serviced reduces the chance of unexpected issues and helps you get the most out of your ski. This replacement bearing kit makes the process straightforward by providing the correct parts in a single package.
