kind of what I am getting at, your spouting off and your frame may not even be bent. keyboard isn't the first tool you should dig out. I got hit by an out of control kid on a corner and shoved into a tree. yanked it straight with a wheeler and chain and reinforced it. my brother in law got a brand new one last year. we joked that he should just back into it with the truck and get it over. but he made it 1000mi last year, straight as an arrow. this year, we went out when it was crap. I took a piece of crap and he took his new one. he looked back for me and hit a tree. we didn't even shut the machines off and laghed about it. shock rubbing and all. got home, yanked with wheeler. frame wasn't bent, front lower bolt egged the hole. tightened it for now, later weld a washer over. He never mentioned how stupid yamaha engineers are. nor is he sendind the front end to grizz
if you have new carbides, it will happen really easy.

Forgot to say thanks 09nytro. That is where it is tweaked.
I wasnt sure where to look to tell if it is the a-arm of sub frame.

With impact related damage, all bets are off in my book because no sled is designed to absorb impacts to its steering and suspension components. But, some designs fare better than others and I like the ones that use a weaker a-arm and have it sheer off rather than damaging the bulkhead.
However, does anyone else see the irony here? In the 2014 post I read over and over from brand loyal Yamaha riders that their sleds are more reliable than any other make because they are heavy. And since fall of '07 I've read many posts about guys bending subframes on their Nytros. Again the damage is almost always impact related but my point is, heavy doesn't mean reliable. A poorly designed, heavy subframe made out of cheap, low carbon steel is just as susceptible to damage as a light weight, cast, all aluminum S-module on a Ski-doo XP. That same, "weak" XP chassis has been a proven winner in racing since '08 and won numerous sno-x races, championships as well as the Iron Dog.
