I have been doing some rock climbing, ding my trailing arm. took a friend for a ride in my field slid side ways and bent the trailing arm.
I have bought a factor arm. but I have been looking at some after market arms. What are you running and what kind of luck have you had.

I am still on stock, not a lot of first hand information on aftermarket trailing arms. I am interested as well.

R or X?

Pics so we can see where/how it bent?

I bent the driver's side rear on my 1000x-4. I have a local shop that works and modifies SxS. He was able to straighten my arm and then plated it. He said this was his first Honda but have done several Polaris the same way with no problems. I found no aftermarket arms for the X. Mine was bent about 2" compared the the good side. I had him do both sides.

Please sent pictures of the damage or repairs.

Spot where paint is chipped is where I bent it. Second picture show it straighten back out and a backing plate welded in.

I am using Trail Armor guard on front A-arms and trailing arms, there are a few scrapes and gouges and I am hoping that will help. Glad you were able to get it fixed!

Looks like the backing plate would be an good prevention and bet it is actually stronger then OEM new!

Did it bend in the about same place on the trailing arm?
