Has anyone else had problems with their upper a-arms? I have been helping my brother wrench on his quad and found one of his upper a-arms ball joint really loose. He had just replaced the opposite side arm due to the ball joint coming apart while he was riding. I haven't heard of this problem with any one else so I thought I'd just ask.

Ya I see that a set of his bushings are already going on the new a arm that he just installed. Alot of slop in it. AND the warranty, what a joke. He has had both upper arms go bad and purchased the extended warranty but has received no help from Honda. The dealer that he purchased it from out of the area said that they would take care of it if he brought it back there but the local dealer said that it was not a warrantied item. So who's right? That's not what I expect out of Honda. Been a Honda fan since my first 3wheeler in '82, and have never seen issues like this.
