I was out looking at the sled in the garage the other day and noticed that the right ski is tipped outward (looking at the sled from the front). The arm and rods don't appear to be bent, I'm guessing the arm must have a little twist in it. Is there an easy way to fix it without replacing the arm?
Trailing arm tweaked

use the top tie rod adjustment to straighten the ski out. super easy

ditto
I rode lots of miles on a bent trailing arm without any noticeable effects. just re-adjust ski alignment

No can do, the top is in as far as it can go already. I can adjust the lower rod out some though.
What year is it? I assume it is the right side?
same here haha, i landed on a rock last year, bent the trailing arm up to where the hood and belly pan meet, stomped it down a little to ride back to the cabin, put a 4ft prybar under the chassis and reefed it straight and rode like 300 miles with it tweeked.
you can adjust the lower one out some too if the top cant go in.

you can always cut it off 1/2 inch and it will work
03 Escape, right hand side.
Ok..I figured by your sig at the bottom But I seen you somewhere else posting about an 01...I have a right side (i believe) trailing arm for an 01 you could have. It was from an 01...do not think it will fit.
Nope 01 is a different arm but thanks for the offer! My old sled was an 01 RMK 700.
