Well I hit a rock doing about 5mph this weekend and took out the right side A-Arms. They are bent back just a little maybe ski tip about 1-2 inches(using my eyes and guess)... It looks like about 400+ for these. So I was wondering if there are any better A-arms out there. If I am going to sink that much in replacement ones are there better ones????
Do you think I could have done any other damage? What should I look for?

UGGG.. 350 miles on this thing and I have replaced:
2 light pods
Glued the dash parts
Glued the Windsheild
Lost a spindle cover(little plastic cap at the top of it lost second ride out just out of the clear came back from a ride and it was gone)
Both Right side A-Arms... :o| :o| :o| :o| :die :die
 
Why don't you get a wide front end kit?
 
Thanks its like 460 just for the two a-arms according to what I looked up.. So screw getting replacements going wider is always better :)
 
By the looks of your repairs to date. I would give your Grandma back her sled before its to late.. My guess is your Tunnel will buckle next. Get an Elan .. LMAO".
 
I have the pioneer kit on my rtx and it is the way to go if you have to replace your arms.I increased my fox shocks air pressure about 7 psi and its perfect.
 
I run the 45" arms from Pioneer and I am going through bushings like crazy. About every 500 miles I have to replace them. Do not use the bolts that come with the kit, they are weak and will bend, I can attest to this since I have bent every one and replaced them. Has anyone else run into this with the pioneer wide front end?
 
Are you using the yamaha bushings or the heavy duty pioneer bushings? I am going to try the pioneer bushings for next season.
 
I was using the Yamaha bushings, I also bought a set of the pioneer bushings, I hope they will be more durable.
