Two bent prop shafts on the same 2000 400 Xplorer.. Hubs/4x4 are working good. Machine has low hours. It keeps bending the prop-shafts though. The Motor mounts are in excellent shape. It wasn't roughed up, much either (on the 2nd shaft). Any Ideas? thanx.

I bent one up also! According to my dealer it occurs when you give them h*ll in reverse pulling out stuck machines or logs. It happens with all concentric drive prop shafts. I start letting the winch do the work or pulling forward and haven't bent the replacement yet. Hope this helps
