A-Arm Glue Failure - Quick Fix?

[nuggetau]

The glue bond has failed on my left bottom front A-Arm, has anyone just put a bolt thru the joint(spindle side) for a temp fix? If so, did it hold? Thanks

The glue is still intact on the bottom rear and the sway bar.

Is Polaris warrantying these glue failures or just saying "you hit something, your problem"?

I rode with a guy last year and his blew part and it was replaced under warranty they had to replace all of the rt side suspension.

At $365 bucks I just cleaned up mine and reglued it. Just like new. If it fails again I will be doing a 36" kit.

Good to hear that some of you are getting warranty repair!

These failures appear to be on 2013 sleds...

Anyone have one fail on the "new, tighter tolerance" 2014 sleds?????

I DRILLED a BFR on Saturday with my '14. After dusting myself off and getting the sled back on a level spot in an old track I started inspecting. I was surprised to find no damage of any kind. After reading all these forum threads I fully expected to find a blown out glue joint and a bent tunnel. Even after getting it back to the garage and giving it a better going over there was no evidence of damage. Lucky I guess or better built this year? Not sure but definitely pleased either way.

before I even rode my sled I drilled two holes on each lower arm and put two GM window regulator rivets in< It should hold now!

2013 Pro 800 155"
Last year the lower left side came unglued. Warrantied but I had to send 20+ pictures and wait 2+ weeks.
This year while riding in CO on the last day of our trip. I noticed the lower Right side had pulled out. WTF!! Both were on the backside by the spindle.

Replace all four arms with Timbersled A-arms. Stronger, lighter and cheaper.
