A-arm shafts

Just wondering.

Polaris part # 5134882 (SHAFT-A-ARM,SHORT)

This is just a piece of steel tube. My X2 has 14 of them and the dealer here wants $25 each.

Im fortunate enough to own a lathe ,I can cut my own out of shaft stock and case harden them my self,

Has anyone else tried , or have someone in a group to do the same.

Its not a bad rain day project just to make a few extra’s

What about other consumable parts do you make for your ride.?
