Front A arms
So I look at the diagram of the front suspension and the A arm looks like it is held in by two bolts. So I assume the A arm is threaded for the bolts to screw into. So I hit the bolts on the A arm with the impact gun to take them out so I can fix the bracket and they just spin. So are they stripped or am I missing the threaded other end somewhere???????
I'll ask tonight and get a better look at it in the morning.

I like the way polaris says to take them out a third at a time I broke one loose then did the tightening thing again with it to break the other one. No luck on that one so I took the loose bolt out and installed a new longer bolt with a jam nut on it. Finally got the front A arm bolt out and it fought all the way out. Looks like I need to clean the threads out on that one.
You folks probably think I'm nuts rambling on about this thing, the manual says just to pull the fill plugs on things to check them The mid axle is pain to get to I'm glad the trany has a dip stick Now I know why the fifty motorcycle shops in town don't service Polaris, just the out of town shops.
Thanks for understanding.

What's that orangy brown stuff on the A arms??
Is that the thing called rust I have heard so much about??
We Kalifornians often don't think about what it is to live in the "rust belt".
Looks like you're making good progress. Wouldn't be the first time a Poo has been welded on, at the frame, where an A arm attaches. Right Ken??
