hi people i need to pic some brains
let me start by saying i wrecked my 2000 spotsman 500 and im a little green at repairing them. it all started when i was raceing up a pretty steep hillwhen out of nowere my truck came up the other side doing about the same speed i was, fast! about 45 but it seemed like 100. anyways i swerved right as hard as i could and missed the truck. but as fortune has it i hit the side of the cut out dirt road and was launchedabout 10 feet in the air right thru a 5 inch popular which thrue me back into the other side of the hil while i was doing an endo! i now know just how heavy that big bitch is after the endo i went into about 10 barrel rolls till we hit the bottom of the hill. yes it cut my hunting trip about 4 days short 4 broken ribs a wrenched knee, a slight concusion and $900 and some odd dollars its fixed. or was 6 months later a son in law cliped a tree and i ordered all the parts a arm, strut, nylonbushings ,tierod, new c clipand the carbon floorboard or whatever put it all back togeater and 1 hour later the driveshart that goes in the cv popped out what went wrong maybe the c clip didnt catch maybee the stering shaft bushing was bad before it happened ther was a slight shake in the handlebars that was pretty constant about a two inch pull if someone has some insite please let me know thanx for your time i could use some help

the two inch pull you mentioned? does it pull up and down? if it does, your lower post bearing ( or bushing) is probably worn out. hot seat and hpd sell a replacement bushing that is far better than stock. my scrambler had the same problem and the new bushing tightned my steering right up. hope this helps.

 

thanx stumpjumper400 is there a chance thats why my cv and axle came apart after i just rebuilt it

i don't think so but i can't see it from the computer. sorry it sounds like something was missed or no assembled right

 

well after reassesing the situation it apears the shaft was or is messed up it no longer has a c clip grove and the berings are broke i figure the shaft, boot, berings, need to be replaced ill change the lower srereing bushing also. is there any thing else i need to watch for tie rod looks good along with the a arm and shock. how do i check the cv it doesnt look cracked do i need to replace the hole deal. this is my first atv and im pretty non informed about them any and all halp is apperciated
