New 2010 nytro Bent subframe?

[bjd68]

So was out today and my dad ended up hitting a small branch on a tree, it didnt even stop the sled but after looking at it the one ski is pushed back about a inch from the other ski

so im thinking after reading on here its a bent subframe, what a joke this 2010 nytro mtx se 162 only has 70 miles on it and it should have never bent that easy! So my question is how

much is a subframe? How much work is it to replace? Also my dad says just maybe leave it because it doesnt seem to handle any different! So is it ok to leave it bent or is it better to fix

it right away? Also can u bend it back somehow? Any info would be great! thanks Brent!

gusset kit works great to beef up the frame after you get it straight or buy new

Grab a big pipe and bent it back, then add the gussets... its about the best thing you can do.

It's not that big a deal to remove if you have to take it off. Just don't do like I did where I ripped it out in the spring and just started getting it back together now with a tough time remembering how the front end went back together (ie what bolts went where).

If I were to bend it back does anyone know whats the best way to do that? Also where can u buy a gusset kit?

A large pry bar between the upper and lower arms. Grizz tracks is a member on this site who makes the gusset kit.

Be careful where you put the pry bar when bending it back. Do it where there is a good strong point, ie. spindle or cross member...else you could collapse an A arm tube...I bent mine a bit when I first did it.

This thread should help you out. PM Grizztracks for a gusset kit. Check out his photobucket. I put mine in ths summer after it bent last year at about 7 mph.

be careful and if you have the stock bushings your just going to be compressiong those. im a fabricator and i straightened mine as best i could and then added gussets last season, this season i will definetly be buying a new sub frame and gusseting it before it bends for sure. its not possible to get it back to stock once its bent from an impact (if its really bent)

All the measurements on my straightened subframe are consistant with a new one. It came out perfect.
