Complete driveshaft availability?

[IH8CROWS]

No,some are spinning on the shaft,poor fit of bearing to shaft.

I think there's an echo in here.

just found in my junk email the driveshaft I order through Arctic Cat is on back order till 3/10/20. I called and talk to a lady before I ordered it because I knew the Yamaha complete driveshaft was on back order and she assured me the warehouse had it. Grrrrr. I just ordered my third driveshaft from hurricane with 2 day shipping. Hope this one is in stock. Is the hurricane driveshaft have a tighter tolerance to the bearing or does anyone know if the barn of parts driveshaft wedge will fit in it. I already have a new wedge waiting and might not be able to use it.

Hurricane received 25 new shafts today.

As we all know by now, it's a HUGE problem. Every sled made has or will have shaft spinning inside the bearing IF nothing is done to stop it.

The only way to know would be call Travis at barn of parts.

Anybody know where I can find Front Axle Sub-ASSem

I tried several places and am told they are on back order until 2/19

Why is this not a recall?

 

[eightpilot]

I have one in my garage for sale... 800 miles with a tight bearing collar still. PM if you need one now...

 

[Turboflash]

Why is this not a recall?

It's all about $$. By now, Cat certainly knows it's a HUGE problem as evidenced by the huge back-order of track shaft assys. If they ever did finally admit it's a design defect and issued a recall, they would have to fix every ProCross chassis made since 2012!!! That would cost millions so they won't do it!

Haven't some guys built them up with weld and lathed them down?
It should hold up I would think, better than waiting and not being able to ride.
