Ok guys here they are the pictures of my bent trailing arm that I posted about back in december. Sorry for the delay on the pictures. everything was fixed around the first of January and have done about 400miles since and everything is perfect. Thanks to all those that helped me out during this repair. Now I just need to get the new decal! :hallo1:

One more, all new and shiny!

fixed it right in the trailer too :thumbsup:

Ha! That's minor, I would have run the rest of the winter w/ that one :D Here's what mine looked like after T boning a 98 MXZ 583 on MY side of the trail :cussing: :whatever:

revrnd,
now did you go get that thing out of the junk pile for the picture ?

Now did the rear pivot bolt come with the trailing arm when it got ripped off?...mine did and i have to do some reconstruction to the frame to get it back on. It broke the mounting tube right out of the frame.

Ouch! I thought the one I bent a couple years back was bad... and it just had a large crease in it! :D :thumbsup:

Paul, I'm a pack rat when it comes to saving that kind of stuff :withstupid: .

No, the dealer checked the dimensions & the rear mount was in place. Didn't even distort the belly pan. Mind you the shock, & both control arms were bent.

I'll dig up the trailing arm from my Mach 1 tomorrow.

Same with mine..it bent my control arms, sway bar, and trailing arm toward the back and broke the mounting tube right off..sucky...182 bucks for that thing

such a common occurance with those trailing arms. Sucks. We have replaced or repaired many.
