Murdered my A-arm.... And other stuff

[Livingmylife93]

Went riding yesterday, beat it up pretty good  :'(

Make sure you watch the video, its the only thing that shows everything!!!!!!!!!

Are both a-arms (left and right) the same? cause the part number is the same, so i can order one and it will fit right?

Dont know if i should even ride it like this...

Ruined A-Arm

The back part of the damaged a-arm


U can kinda see both parts (look towards bottom of pic)


The nerf bar is like this on both sides, not really a big deal.

[Buck]

Track? NO....but if you're just gonna cruise it shouldn't be an issue.

vid link didn't work for me? 

those pics look like it wasn't a very good time though.

Can you guys think of a temporary fix, so i can go to the track on saturday?

what is actually wrong, other than dented or smashed? Is the travel screwed up? If everything works, it's on. I rode on a bent a-arm for a month once.

Its just a really bad dent.

Go to my other thread about what i have recently done and look at the bumper pic, you can see the dent better there and then judge it

I'll look. You should be cool, as long as your steering isn't FUBAR, and the suspension goes all the way down  without resistance. Sit on the bumper and check it out.

I just got done jumping up and down on the bumper and the shocks go all the way down with out a problem. I think i might feel the slightest bit of rubbing coming from the damaged side but that may have been there before or might not be related. Steering is fine, a little out of alignment from what happened to the rim but no big deal. And i have a new rim so im good.

So do you think i can go to the track and not have to worry about it? I mean do you think it will handle 10 foot high landings?

[Peelz]

if nothing is wobbling, or making a bunch of crunching noise, you should be fine.

[Livingmylife93]

ok cool. Ill look into it more when i have the chance

Well im going to the track tommorow with the a-arm like it is, so wish me luck
