Bent left front

[RX1 Diggler]

Hey guys awesome sight, Hit a drainage ditch on the weekend and bent ski saddle, spindle, spindle housing and both a arms on the left side. Just wondering if theres any other places I should be looking for damage. haven't pulled plastic off yet. Looked at where the a arms mount to bulkhead, can't see anything. Saw another thread where someone said if theres a mark on spindle check for cracks in bulkhead. Just wondering if
you guys have any pointers on where to look.

I bent my RX1 left side last year with an incidental hit. Odds are high you damaged the front left bulkhead casting as well. I did not notice any damage to mine and reassembled it to find that the left ski is about 2.5" behind the right side.

There has been no noticable effect on handling so I just left it that way.

Uh oh... I just bent my left front too. Hit a rock at about 10-15mph. Already spent over $400 on the upper control arm, spindle, leg and bolts. Just picked them up this week. Haven't reassembled yet. Hope I didn't miss anything . Anybody got torque specs on the control arm to bulk head and control arm to spindle bolts, or know where I can find them?

EDIT: Crap... started to re-assemble, lower control arm is bent too . Although I can't find any cracks in the bulkhead. Guess I'll check with the dealer for those torque specs, seeing as I have to go pay them another visit.

I got lucky with mine, I crashed a couple seasons ago and bent the left a-arms a bit. I had to adjust the ski toe, but there was no other damage. And trust me, it was a HARD hit. I'm surprised I didn't do any other damage. I'm working on finding a good deal on a pair of a-arms on ebay, but until then, mine have worked for 4000+ miles.
