hello guys
I have a 98 sportsman 500 and the rear suspension is binding up. After a ride the rear is bottomed out. If I lift up on the rear rack the suspension works as it should compresses and rebounds fine. I removed the rear shocks, tires and sway bar links and jacked it up. The right side is smooth with no binding at all when I operated it by hand. The left side however is binding up. I removed the bolt that hold upper a arm to hub and moved both A arms. They were both free and smooth. When I put the bolt back in the a arms bound up. If I lift them all the way up they will stay in that position until I push them down again. Could the bushings be bad? Could the shocks be blown and not returning the suspension to normal position? Any help will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
