We have an 08 nytro rtx,with a bad l. h. spindle p/n 8gl-23501-00-00 retail is $237.00 port has it for $199.37 these are oem parts,does anyone know if we can get a set of aftermarket spindles that releive darting,or just plain handle better. But at this point the sled has damage to that spindle,appears the left side is pushed ahead by 3/4 to 1" compared to r.h. side,hopefully a new spindle will fix this problem. Now that being said,we have looked at the bulk head under carrige,and all looks good there,so we really believe its just the spindle. Any ideas!!!

If the spindle is bad, you will be able to see it very ez. I would bet $$$ that the sub frame it tweeked and or the the upper a-arm is slightly bent. Get a good rugged pry bar, insert it down through the ends of the a-arms and give it a good yank to center up the shocks between the a-arm (springs should be about 3/4" from the inside of the upper arm) Save your money Pete!

If your looking for spindles and I don't know what your sons looks like but, to improve handling aswell check out the mods that mjermko did in the thread about his new SRX. http://www.ty4stroke.com/viewtopic.php?t=98664
