Was out with a friend on his trap line and I nailed a tree at about 10 mph, this was about do years ago and it bent my upper and lower A-arm on the right side of the sled (as I'm sitting on it). This season I've been noticing it pulling to the right and I'm wondering if my bent a-arm is the problem. I've tried looking on the forum for how to do it, and it looks complicated, but maybe its not as complicated as it seems?
Would it also be a good time to replace the rubber boot since its got some pretty good tears in it?

Wow yes that will surely effect handling. It’s not that bad of a job. Just make sure the subframe and bulkhead are straight.

I used Port Yamaha's microfiche for a 2016 Viper S TX DX but once you have the part numbers, you should be able to source locally:

Or to save some $$, contact @hibshman25 (Travis) of Barn of Parts to see if he has any good used a-arms
