Wow there is quite a bit of differance between 2006/2007...............Caper...........



I sure they must have change 2008 or at least keep it like 2007!!!!!</end quote></div>

Frame looks exactly the same for '06 & '07, but they have different part numbers. Maybe just thicker material?

That is the subframe that the mounts broke but not the rear mounts but the ones in front.

Got it! Thanks. Will keep an eye on them. Maybe have the local chop shop add some reinforcement for it.

I receiver great news today from my local RideNow Dealer.
Polaris said they will repair the rear A Frame failure.
I really think it happened because of the way my dealer (RIDENOW) addressed the problem to Polaris. Special thanks to Rob the service guy.
So I very happy camper.

You know with all the folks that have had problems with that lower rear subframe Polaris should come forward and take care of it for all of the 2006 and 2007 models.
Polaris is repairing mine and I hope to see a new reinforced version instaead of the same subframe.
I should have mine back next week if all goes well

All the 07's have the stronger/reinforced subframe which is what they're installing on the 06's....

Does anyone know if this was fixed on the late 2006 models? My wife has an 06 with 120 miles on it and no problem yet.
