2008 Summit XP
Last year I hit a rock sidehilling the first day of riding. At first I didn't think I hurt anything but then noticed that one ski was back futher than the other and the shocks were not centered in the upper A-arms. It was the left side that took the hit. I checked the entire front end with a bright pen light to see if any bending or warping of the sheet metal had happened and it all looked straight and true. I did find that the front suspension support (cast bridge) for the lower A-arms was bent or tweeked at the rear where the arm attaches. I looked to be sort of twisted to the right. The left shock was closer to the rear of the upper A-arm and the right shock was closer to the front of the upper arm. Well I just finished installing a new support and the left shock is centered perfectly in the upper A-arm but the right shock is still closer to the front of the arm. Could this meen the right side A-arms are bent or twisted? They appear to be fine. I did notice that the right side upper arm when the bolts are snugged up the arm moves kind of sticky. Compaired to the left it moves quite a bit harder. The more you tighten the bolts the harder it moves. Any thoughts?? Thanks for your help!!
