Front Cradel

[larrypolaris]

Just ordered my front cradel for the Nytro. A arm looks strait. Hope it fixes the shock off center issue, LH side. Another new updated part number. Pricey. $450 bucks, errr.

$450 is a good deal on a subframe. I paid $562 in '09.

Was the shock off center on just one side? And do you see wrinkle in the gusset just below the a-arm? These are signs that the subframe is twisted.

If the shocks on both sides are off by the same amount you may not have a problem. But still give it a good look over when you pull the body panels off.

Yeah I see a small wrinkle on the subframe bottom flat thin plate. Just the LH shock is off center rearward. Yeah the list price was $566.

can someone snap a picture of where the flat plate is that might give away a problem with the front end?

I can when i get out of work if nobody else gets to it.

On '09 and newer sub-frames a plate was added in the area indicated below. The plate has a large circular cutout in it and when bent it's obvious because the edge of the circle will be wavy.

If I were you, I'd weld in extra support plates to prevent the subframe from bending again...much easier to do this now while it's still out of the sled.

x2, might as well make it stronger as long as it is out of the sled.

I have 2 brand new subframes sitting on my shop floor with the "Grizztracks" gussets ready for powder coat. I would never put a subframe in without doing something to make it stronger then stock. I will post some pics of the gussets welded in. My customer XTX is maybe the worst bent SF I have ever seen, you can see the frame is almost 1" out of spec. The ski's are a solid 8"+ offset!!!!
