nytro spindle breaking

[Snowbound One]

As a part of your riding protocol, go through your sled after every hard day of riding and do a pre-flight inspection so to speak. Visual your rear suspension, frame, shocks, sliders, spindles etc. After each year, I'll take my ski's off and lube this whole rotation point, at this time you can be looking for hairline cracks, I know I will be after reading this. Sleds and sled parts, not to mention people, get punished at those higher speeds, impact forces are non-linear especially when we really start to push the speed envelope.

Wish you well and preflight your machine before every ride for peace of mind! Good luck!

Maintenance goes a long way...I also think for those of you who do not have heated areas to store the sled, the ice and wear is exponentially worse.

my right side spindle was also cracked . I smacked a small tree doing about 15 mph and never thought about it. Found it when I was replacing the control arm bushings.
