I think i can compete with ken now.

[EigerMike]

you hit one rock and it busted like that!!!! i wouldnt weld them up ,being all three are broke.i would get some new ones then guset them before you put them on! i would be keeping an eye on the other one and if you can replace them bolth i would move this to the popo fourm!

[Kendo]

Well dude, I'm not sure the fawk you did that, but you broke it good!

Other than not being able to add accessories like tracks, welding a steel plate on the bottom of each A arm would help tremendously. I have the bolt on Polaris guards on mine, but they really don't afford much protection to the arm itself, more of a protection of the CV boot and axle shaft.

If you don't have access to a welder, next time you're up in these parts, I can probably do it for you. Might even have a couple pieces of metal laying around for that.

[Ken]

Holy SHITE AJ....

You have surpassed me my friend. I have never done, nor have I ever seen one like that.

Kendo is right....I have skid plates welded into mine...which do provide more strength. Jack has the template....though it's not a super complicated shape.

thanks guys mike i wasn't going to weld that one it is blasted no way is that gonna happen.

so you can weld to the metle here let me end he story with a hell of a kicker

i am going to pismo with a bunch of my famliy 23dr--26th yes that is this thursday so i have the local polaris dealer overnighting a new a arm for me and i basicly told him if he donsnt have it by tomarow i am screwed.

and sens i am hauling all 6 quads that where taking i kinda don't have a choice but to go rather my quad is working or not and what the hell is with shops not being open on mondays that is so stupid

i have i welder in my garge kendo but that is awsome you would weld it up for me yea my first thought was i think i need some stronger and the kick of all of it was that i was only going about 10mph when it happen

[roon101]

do i need do any thing to the axle before i put it back together
i checked it it looks fine

i am not sure if it needs any kinda of grease or not or what not

never delt with this before any thing helps.

[MrBill]

A-arms 05 or later.
After 04 they changed them longer travel and different A-arm.
But 500, 700, and 800 should all fit.
On the polaris online parts you can move all the way to the right and it will have a fits. click on that and you will see all the that fit that part number. the - after the part number is for color.
Red loc-tite I would not do. I would change bolt to grade 5 or better and use bule loc-tite and check torque often. I have seen red loc-tite take threads out with it when removing.
I see from picture your bolts did not brake or come out.

Well you could take a few hundred extra dollars and rent a bad sand quad.

Maybe this hit was the straw that broke the camel's back. It could have been stressed or cracked from trying to keep up with Ken. One last hit was all it could take. If you want to keep up with the big dog, bring lots of money.

[roon101]

naa we are taking 6 bad sand quads already 2 yahmaha 450 raptors
2 honda 450's and my quad

and my wifes 250
that is just the lot that i am hauling

Good Lord - how about a picture of all that on a trailer!!

[Ken]

I have 2 extra a-arms if it doesn't arrive. You can have one and give me the one that arrives.

They're brand new and I just use them with my tracks (Tracks won't bolt up with my skid plates).

[roon101]

ken if it dosn't arrive i will be contacting you
man that is so awsome if you could do that.

[Ken]

Seriously not a problem.

[popotim]

Check out the Stick Stoppers I posted under Gear and Gizmos. They bolt on your A-arms with some aluminum u-bolts on top of some spacers and there is a little space between the front of the stick stopper and the leading edge of the a-arm. This was designed to provide a crumple zone for a hard hit on the leading edge, and the stick stopper will bend or more likely the u-bolts will fail before you have damage to your a-arm. They provide extra u-bolts on request (which I carry with me) in case this happens. Still can't drive into a boulder at 50 mph. They also provide a lot more protection than just welding a tri-angle to your lower a-arm.

[roon101]

it is all back together now got the part in this smorning working and so
thank god i thought i was going to be quadless at pismo for 3 days

thanks ken for the offer of the help after purchesing a new one from a dealer i ordered a set from ebay for like 40 bucks for another set for spares case that ever happens again.

and kendo i think i may take you up that sens i just relized my father inlaw sold his welder

and oh yea i suck at welding after looking at a few things i did in the past i was like oh that is why i didn't do much welding.

thanks again guys.

[Kendo]

Best bet would be to bring your set of spares over, and we can weld the plates to them. Once that's done, replace the others and we can weld plates on those too.
