Glued arms fit axys?

will fit, but you will have to add bushing material to hold it in place front to back

Bobby, I think you read the OP wrong; he wants to put the glued PRO arms on the AXYS. So i think the shoulder / Flange portion of the bushings needs to be thinned a bit to fit the AXYS. Feel free to correct me if I'm mis-speaking.

Yeah idk, you're probably right.

At fist I figured you could install them with the spacers in reverse of what i did to put axys arms on the pro, but maybe not, haven't tried it
 
Yeah I'm getting preped to head west in few weeks and have my 15 I'm planing on taking also as backup just wanted to know if it's just a easy arm swap I would like to ride my axys more than my 15
 
The Axys has a 1.5" higher stance / center of gravity. With the changes in geometry I think they may bolt on, but I would think it would change the way the sled handles / characteristics. If you give it a shot, let us know how it works out.
 
So what's the verdict? These stock lowers aren't going to last long on my sled after seeing what happened to my riding buddies lower :face-icon-small-sho
 
I hope all of you guys that have bent these weak arms are opening cases with Polaris customer service. They seem pre occupied with a computer flash to cover all the poorly set TPS sensors they sent out LOL


Mine runs GREAT but, the damn lower a-arms are inexcusably weak. If we the wrecking crew do not report to them directly, repeatedly, firmly, they will continue to blame us for wanting to ride this sweet sled in the mountains like it was intended. Like we did the last few years...

Verdict is that I have had a set of stock 14 arms on my sled for 600 kms and they work fine. Put something else on or you will be forced to soon. I hope we can get a brace kit built for stock 16 arms, will know soon.
 
You could tigweld a brace on the week spot... i bent my lower a-arm. So i Bought zbros... buddy bent his so he cut a peace out of my bet one and had it wedded in the skinny spot were they all bend..it seams to be working good. That was 600 miles ago. Seen him fly over the bars a few times and have a couple hard hits that stopped him.. does not look the best but so far so Good.
 
A true Carbon fibre wrap on / or sleeve over the thin spot would do double duty; as a stiffener and keep the snow and ice from adhering. All with negligible weight gain.

Without the temper / strength loss from welding. Just thinking out loud. FWIW
 
Not sure how you guys are getting them to fit. Tried to put glued 2015 A-arms on this morning, there is about 1/4" difference in between the two mounting locations (see pic below).

Mine were only 1/8" difference and shaving the bushings and spacing off with flat washers was all it took to fit.
 
Shaved the bushings off but you can see from the picture that even with out the bushing in there it is off.
