Safety of the front end? When is it unsafe?

[Scranton1]

My front end is visually bent. Distance between springs and A Arms are different on both sides. Sled still runs fine and honestly don't notice a difference while riding.

It looks like the brake side...........

I don't want to compromise the rest of the year by taking it to the dealer.

I hit nothing and ride flat, groomed trails. It better be warrantied!

Obviously, Im going to monitor the front end...... At what point would you consider it unsafe to ride if this issue progresses?

I was wondering this myself. I measured mine and mine is off a little too. The left side a-arm is farther back behind the shock than the right side a-arm.

When riding, in all conditions, I have never once thought this issue was hindering the sleds performance in the slightest.

You need to take it to the dealer to register the problem if there is any hope of a fix. Don't risk hitting something later untill your dealer has it documented. I don't mean leave it there but just to make sure they confirm there is no signs of collision so that any warrenty claim that may come is not denied because you hit something later. Ride it that way at your own risk.

hey i noticed my looked funny to.... but i am unsure if it is bent or the mount for the shock is in a different place.... hard to measure but it seems as though ..... the mounts on mine are not identical and makes the shocks seem to be in different places
