This last weekend I was ridin my 96 Warrior and hit an un-seen ditch in 5th gear and fliped it a complete flip end over end. I was thrown off and broke my arm. I think the impact bent my axle a bit(not too much though) And I was wonderin if it was in need of being replaced. And if I didn't would it do any damage to other parts or be dangerous?>?>? Well any help is appreciated

not to worry i have ridden slightly bent axles before and all i can say is if it's "TO" bent you'll know it..
on the upside i have had a machinist friend of mine straighten slightly bent axles before.
good luck

I bent the axle on my Warrior also. And replaced it with an eliminator axle,, I think it is made buy Dura blue. The with can be adjusted with spacers to + 4, but where I ride It turned into a hassle, the trailes were too tight, so I put it back to the stock with. And one last thing it is kind of heavy, but it is safe to say I think it is un-bendable.

Hey,
Thanx for everyone who gave me feedback. It's really not that bent, and its not just on one side. We put it up on a stand and popped it in gear and let the tires spin, and they both kinda waver a little. And i doubt the frame is bent, wouldn't the shock break be for the frame bends?? Whats the cheapest rear axle??
