any one have your lower a arm come apart ?
checking cuz me and a bud had a 3 hr tour in the woods this week.
with some bad advice from umm ME on a creek crossing lol he scorpion over the bars.
not a big hit 3 ft fresh dead stop a quick brapp prob 9 feet in to the bank on the other side and *** over tea kettle no big thing not hard enough to bend the bumper.
well 20min latter it was out .
then the fun started the left A arm ends came out of the end alloy housing .not good
so we got out the few tools we had and got to work .pulled shock and sway bar and managed to get bars back in to joint pounded with a big branch to kind of make stick and put back together.
limped it out to a trail found a stump and pounded the snot out of it got and road it to a lodge .
managed to pound end back in drill a hole through end cap and both arms and bolted arms in .works just fine .that night back at the cabin we did the other side just for good measure.no need to relive that situation .
has any one else pooped a glue joint?
or just a freak thing? well any way if I owned one I would deff be drilling and bolting just for piece of mind way way more ez in a heated shop than waist deep with a wet foot that the creek water went over the top of the boot.
will post a u tube this week of the scorpion and the stump hammer fix

Was it a '13 Pro or a '14. I've read about this happening on the '13s but nothing on the '14s yet. And my '14 has glue oozing out everywhere. I think maybe they went a little too light on the '13s?

Its a known problem. I have read on snowest about it. I have also heard that some of the arms fill up with water and that makes the problem worse. Do a little looking under the pro-ride forum. Just a few topics about it.

no brand new snow check 14 .
all the extra glue was nice on the arm so u could see where to pound the end to.
