UMI Stainless Replacement Bearing Kit for Steering Systems
The UMI Racing stainless steel replacement bearing kit is ideal for riders who want maximum corrosion resistance and long term steering smoothness. Designed for all UMI steering systems except XP97 plus models, this kit upgrades the critical internal bearings to stainless construction, making it especially well suited for salt water and high humidity environments.
As steering bearings age, contamination and rust can make steering feel heavy or gritty. Stainless bearings resist these problems better than standard versions, helping your steering system move freely for more hours on the water. For XP97 plus steering systems that use four bearings, two kits are required for a complete rebuild.
Kit Highlights
- Stainless steel bearings enhance corrosion resistance over standard bearing kits
- Fits all UMI Racing steering systems except XP97 plus versions
- XP97 plus steering systems require two kits due to having four internal bearings
- Recommended for skis that see regular salt water or harsh storage conditions
- Helps maintain a light, precise steering feel over extended use
Upgrade Your Steering Maintenance
Investing in stainless bearings is a smart choice for riders who do not want to tear down the steering column as often. While regular maintenance is always important, a stainless kit provides extra protection against the kind of corrosion that can quickly ruin standard bearings.
Pairing this kit with routine cleaning and lubrication of your UMI steering system lets you keep control feedback sharp and predictable. For riders who are already running UMI billet hardware, this bearing kit is a natural step toward a more durable and reliable front end.
