I priced a set one time from the dealership, and the list price ended up being well over a grand (like $1300 if I recall correctly). The arms themselves are cheap, but all the bearings and seals are what get ya. Apparently they're different on the mx arms. The way to go is to get on with the racer support program, and they'll sell you the 50" package with arms, rods, brake lines AND rear axle for $350. Makes you wonder how much the dealer markup is!

I don't have the support program yet, but from my understanding you need to have competed in some form of racing previously, and you must intend to continue to race. It's Can-Am's incentive for you to get out there and advertize their product. There's a ton of threads about it on this forum.

Getting back to the a-arms, list price on the uppers is $135 each, lowers $189 each, but those are bare. You can reuse your original ball joints to save a few bucks. I'm not sure cause I haven't tried it, but you might be able to match up the bearings, bushings and seals with generic aftermarket replacements (like from Napa auto), and save a whole lot that way. The factory ones are $10-$15 bucks each depending on placement, and you need about 16 of them plus seals. Haven't looked yet, but maybe the ATV aftermarket offers a rebuild kit.
