Upper a arm missing bushing from factory!!!

[yamamarc]

I finally had a chance to remove the upper a arm (clutch side) to inspect the excessive play/movement of the spindle!!

I discovered that both bushings in the upper a arm were never installed when built!(2019 zr9000 limited)
Next time you have your sled on a lift pull up on the ski loop to check for play! Hopefully mine was a fluke and no one else is missing them!!

dealer is going to send me the bushings!! It's not worth the 2 hrs drive to bring sled in for 5$ in parts.
I caught it early enough so there is no damage to the frame mounts or a arm

That's good! Glad it's not damaged
