| Has anyone ever rode in snow that is powder and it balls up on your a arms and pushes your cv boots off the axle it I had it to happen to the front right and left rear the boots not busted or ripped it just pushed it off so I guess it would be ok to just put em back on I think I caught it before it slung the grease out. | |

| Hey Greenhead....I ride in snow a lot....never had any issues w/my Prowler....And I've had snow packed around everything to the point that you couldn't even see the axles.
Does the boot still have all of the clamps on it?? Seems like there is something wrong here. | |

| I had a stick/log go between the a-arm and axle and push the boot off. The band was still usable, I put some grease in the boot and put it back on. I have had no trouble yet. I dont get snow that deep so I have not had you problem. I could see it hapning if the band was not real tight. | |
