Hi, new to the 4 stroke page. Was riding a 2001 SRX700 but I Bought a 2008 Fx Nytro back in November from a guy. Awesome sled! I was riding it this weekend and the A arm bolt came out and I ended up in the woods. Apparently there was a recall back in 2009 on them for no loctite on the bolt but didn't know that till after the fact. Didn't hit the tree to hard but it did push one of my skis back and I'm struggling to find out where it is messed up at. I have attached a couple of pictures where you can see it's pushed back and the A Arm is up against the spring instead of the spring being in the center. I was wondering if there was anybody around the southeast MI area that might have a Nytro I could look at and compare to my sled?

Thanks

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you bent the subframe. There's a ton of info on this if you search. You can start by trying to bend it back with a big pry bar and then weld in a gusset kit for grizztracks who is a member on here. Welcome to the bent subframe club and the 4stroke side

X2 lots of info on how to fix the problem
 
subframe

Mostly likely the subframe along with right side upper a-arm being bent. I replaced my frame and noticed my right upper arm was still bent. If you stand in front of the sled and compare both sides you will notice the upper Arm on one side is probably more forward than the other. Shock not centered is certainly a bent subframe.
