| Has anyone had to repair their a-arm guards? After my son put the Teryx thru it's paces at coal creek both of my front guards are bent beyond recognition. Is this normal? any advice is appreciated... | |

| I've had to reshape/repair two out of four.
A rock pushed the left front one in too close to the CV joint to satisfy me. I managed to clamp two sets of vice grips on it and gently bend in back into OK shape...
A tree root tore my right rear one completely off, pulling the bolts through the holes in the aluminum and warping it all out of shape. I had to use the vise and hammer to beat it back into shape well enough to bolt in back on with bigger washers... | |

| I have not had to work on my A arm guards. However, I have taken the hammer to my rock slides and straighten them out...  | |

| Thanks for the input guy's. I am going to be doing some serious blacksmithing on my guards. Hopefully they will be in shape for the H/M ride. I am not even going to tackle the nerf bars, actually they were bent closer to the contour of the rex's sills. SE lA vIE... | |
