A arms

[Moto1000]

So first ride out to the mountains with my brand new pro with 1.1 hours on it, I found a rock and found it good! Bent the lefthand lower A arm.

I can't seem to find any online and my dealer wants something like $230 for one.

Any Ideas?

So first ride out to the mountains with my brand new pro with 1.1 hours on it, I found a rock and found it good! Bent the lefthand lower A arm.

Been There...Done That... $500 later I'm back in business! The good news is it's easy to fix, the bad news is parts are expensive. I bent the lower A-arm, shock shaft, and broke the steering stem in half...yes, it hurt!

Looks like the lower A-arm should be about $160...I've never ordered from these guys, but they have the parts pricing to give you an idea...BTW, the A-arm is the same part as the IQ chassis.

the a arm it self is the same as the IQ but the bushing for the spindle is different on the 11 then then 10's. my lower left was 180 from the dealer. ur dealer is smoking something.

So will the 2010 Arm fit? I thought the sway bar location may be different but I haven't looked all that close. Are they the same?

Non of the online parts stores even list the pro yet. some don't even have 2011s as an option.

the 10 will work but u have to take the ball join at the end out of the 11 arm and put it in the 10. The 11 uses a bigger bolt then the 10 did is what Mountianhorse was saying.

do yourself a favor and call zbroz or holts whatever and get aftermarket ones i went through at lest three lowers of oem before going to zbroz and have not had one bend yet i did snap a tree off the other day and it dented the a arm but it is not out of alignment or bent

I second that! Buy a great aftermarket set and keep your stockers in the trailer to "fix a bad day".

Good find Rev Kev

Stronger arms sound like playing with fire. Breaking a stud off that cast front end is going to suck. Something has to give, might as well be an A-arm. And yeah, already bent one myself. Stupid sharks...

Well see how many studs get ripped out of the cast aluminum bulk head, when you hit a rock or stump. I've replaced a lower left on my sled, was $150 bucks.

Are the Zbros or Holz A-arms the same width as OEM?

Do the bolt up to stock spindles, mounts, etc?

 

[AkLogan]

i think the holz and z bros are an inch wider there 40 insted of 39.

The Holz come an inch wider @41". The Zbroz claim to have an exact match to the stock 40" width but mine actually measure in at about 39.1"

And yes everything bolts right up no problem.
