[x-mark]

hey guys...ummm so i was riding the new sled last weakend there and hit a rock... now by just the visual inspection it looked like just the lower a arm was bent to s**t... so naturally i put an a arm on . after the fact of that the spindle is still almost standing straight up and down , and still can not see what or were it is bent .... any advice or info would be awsome... thnx cheers

If you think its bent it is. I just did my E module and the lower control arm support (some people call it the S) not to bad lots of rivets though

ya i geuss eah..... couldnt be the top a arm as well...no ? it looks kind of pushed forward

These are bad for bending the "s module".

Look for your ski tips to not line up.

If your top arm is pushed forward on one side and not on the other the "S" module or the module brace is twisted.

My brace is out like 1/4" from front to rear and it makes the ski tips out 1".

I'm not replacing mine until I need to, my luck replace it this week, next week wack it again.

The "s" module is basically the "nun" from the previous Rev's, its the bulkhead. Then there is the weak brace underneath that the arms connect to.

It is possible to bend a spindle as well....I've done it. Take them off and run the ski both through them to see if they line up with one another.

Unless its so bad you can't ride it, dont worry about it. Its still early, lots more chances for you to twist it up again!

Of course you don't have to fix it right away! Just adjust for castor and let camber take care of it's self. Worked for a couple days until I got home.
