Bent XP A-Arm

[redrum]

Was riding a little hard this weekend and lauched my 09`renegade towards the sky... The climb was nice and smooth, the landing.... not so much.... Ended up bending my lower left A-arm pretty good. I`m hoping it`s only the arm. I`m shocked on just how weak the A-arms really are. Has anyone else had this problem? Also, anyone know of after market arms available yet for the XP? The dealer in Saskatoon wants $175.00 a side.

Have a 08 gade, first 6 miles was coming out of a field into a ditch slowed down to probably 15-20km/hr and hit a gopher mound went a few miles down the ditch and noticed my lower a-arm was looking like this ^ . I thought what did i buy here. Replaced it and for how its been riden since ( 900 miles) havent bent nothing else. Must have been just in the right spot and angle to do that to the arm. Put the arm deflectors on to hopefully glance the smaller stuff off, but i dont think they will take to much abuse.

**** find any other aftermarket arms?

P.s. just keep um in the air.... lol

LOL Keeping em` in the air isn`t really a problem, it`s that damb landing that hurts em`..... A guy I was riding with said Kimpex makes after market arms for the XP but, nobody in town here can help me out.....

Holtz makes aftermarket arms for the XP. Also check grip n rip products for their braces to prevent nun damage.
