Front end damage to 05 800 summit 151

[907to406]

Bought the sled used. Guy before me put her into a tree breaking the front bumper. Also the front shock springs are rubbing in the back of the a-arms. How extensive do you think the damage is?

Most likely the flying nun needs to be replaced, fairly labor intensive $300-$500 in parts

not that expensive to fix but shock rubbing on A arm could just be a bent lower a arm..

yea drilling out rivets doesnt take that long to do really you can do it easily in a day with fairly basic tools....

Thanks for the help. I assumed it was the "nun" but wasn't sure. The sled is going to be going through some extensive garage work, high compression head, pipe, all new plastics, new shocks and hopefully a holtz front end kit as well as a big wheel kit. Any other mods to wake these sleds up? As far as replaceing the nun its basically just drilling out the rivets and replacing the bent part and throwin in a new one? doesn't sound so bad.
