try to stay off it as much as possible, and if you ride it...do what you said your comfortable with..dont take it off the ground....you never know when one could go pop. just start saving now...search around in the for sale section and look on ebay..always see good deals going through

ok i just got done taking off the arms on the bad side and showed my dad every thing surprisingly the bearings were not chrushed:eek2: they were just kinda wedged side ways and looked like they were so i imprvised on the a arm and kinda tweaked the mount back straight (not the arm just the end)so that the bearing wouldnt fall apart and it doesnt seem as bad as i thought i do believe i could make this work for a few months till right after my birthday in january then get some arms then im so lucky that the bearing are still good man makes me feel alot better knowing i can ride it with out worrying that something might give and i me go otb looks as if ill be ordering my prm desert bumper after all and ill be purchasing a prm .190 frame skid to protect my frame from some big stupid rocks in the trail then housers will be coming late january unless yall really advise aginist it or somethin

somebody did the same on a trail i ride, i smoked a big rock right when i was shifting into 5th, luckily it just bent the hell out of a steel wheel.

sorry to hear about that man, there is somebody selling 400 arms in the forsale section for like $50 for stockers. check it out
