can I use two different brand a-arms

[sledhelp]

the glue holding my lower right a-arm on my 2013 Polaris pro rmk 600 has fallen apart and now my arm is broken. I have read that re-gluing the a-arm and drilling a pin through it is only temporary. Can I use my left stock a-arm and a right spi a-arm at the same time???

Yep

Glue and bolt the stocker for spare.

Yes, but you'll have to put anti-rejection medication in the fuel tank.

My father has a '13 and he glued and bolted the joint together, both sides. That was probably 3k miles ago. Still going strong...

did he take the a-arm off and reglue it, or did he just do it on the sled, and where did he drill the hole for the bolt?

I just got a response back from him. I forgot that he had one come completely apart, after jumping a creek. We lost a good couple of hours just trying to put it together enough to ride it out. We bought a new arm from the dealer that same day, because we were riding the next day. He pinned both a-arms the following week, but both were still intact. I suspect you could use an epoxy and glue it back together, then pin it.

His response: "Sine both of my PRO A arms were in tact when I modified them, I only pinned the front side of the arms. That's the only side that really can pull out. I just drilled a 3/16" hole horizontally thru the strut casting and A arm tube and placed in a 3/16 X 1 1/2 stainless steel bolt with a nylock nut. Now, if he already had the strut pull apart, it might be a bit more tricky. It is possible, then, that the back A arm may have separated?? If the whole thing is not so damaged as to be able to press it back together, then both front and back would need pinning and a larger pin (or both horizontal and vertical pins) would be needed as they would be the only things holding the arm together. In my case, I still had the glue holding everything and only needed to strengthen things a bit.
