06 a-arm wtf!

[lumi]

hey guys, I was just waxing and fiddling with my quad and I was moving the wheel I can feel a sudden tick, or something. so keeep moving the wheele from the side towards the quad and away and saw the tick I was feeling or the groove was coming from the upper rear a-arm bushing/ assembly. it was moving forward and reward , the whole a arm bsuing until it hits a stopper . the movement is about the thickness of penny if as much.anways I did the same thing to the otherside and it was so small of a groove / tick felt normal it moved so lil from from to back. anyways can this be normal, looks too small of a movement to be something major but the right upper rear one move the most. the quad is about 2 months old no jumping done with it, no crahses and no wheelies. should I take it to the dealer, by the way can anyone see if there does the same thing especially onn a 06 thanks a lot guys

Sounds like your a-arm bushings are going out. That shouldn't be happening after only 2 months. I usually have bushings last 6 months at least, but that is racing and riding a lot and aftermarket a-arms. For me, when it gets real bad, it feels like riding on a flat front tire.

yea i dunno if its going bad my self, only one that is moving ever so slightly about a peeny width. and its only one, the upper right rear one. should i just bring it to the daler, or wait and see if it gets worse. thanks

Why dont you try tightening the bolt......cause most likely it loosened up somehow. Its steel, tighten the bolt until the slack is gone.
