No worries I was laughing all the way back to the truck
even know it was a 6 mile hike in the hot sun.
i thought somthing felt strange and then i hit a large rock at 5mph
and smash went the arm.

[EigerMike]

wow !!!!!!! better check the other side! did it do damage or just come undone? is this a comon thing ? let me know if i can help!

[roon101]

yeaop it snaped in two places nothing money can't fix.

any one have idea where to get some new one for a good price.

[ATV'er]

That sucks. They dont make any stronger A arm that I am aware of. Ken, Jack and I have some skid plates that Jack made that weld to the A arm. My old A arms looked like a taco. The other thing you got to do is get some red lock tite and put it on the front A arm bolts. Also get use to checking them because they like to back out. Its always a good idea to "nut and bolt", check and make sure every once and a while things are tight.

[roon101]

yea i rembered you guys talking about that so i have been checking them
after every ride and making sure there tight

but this time i hit a big rock and turned my broke my a arm in 2 places.
soon as i get it off i will post another pic yea i am gonna order
skid plates today for the a arms

i am just glad it didn't happen when i was going 50 mph 20 minuted earler.

[ATV'er]

Ouch!

[roon101]

do you half to buy year and machine spacific for the a arms does any one know.

can i use say a 2008 800 sportsman a arm.

[ATV'er]

I believe the A arms are all the same.

[roon101]

if that is the case i am good shape thanks to ebay.
a statment got me worried. that i had to buy the one to the machine. and no other.

[roon101]

more of the busted a arm



can i weld to these or is the metal to soft
i think a plate in the center will make a huge improvement.
in the quality.

[The Modfather]

I don't know why that part isn't gusseted from the factory, honestly.

Although, I haven't looked at mine, so they could quite possibly be the same way LOL!
