2014 grizzly eps 450 rolled about 3 times, broke the steering hub/knuckle, bent the lower A arm, bent the adjusting sleeve, pulled the cv axle out of the differential and pretty much destroyed the cv joint.
in the pic i uploaded the knuckle with the vise grips clamped on it at the break when it rolled. the other knuckle is supposed to be an exact replacement. you can see the different angle between the two, is that one bent and broken i didnt figure cast iron would bend.
ive replaced the lower A arm and tried putting everything back together and i can get only 1 of the lower arm bolts to line up the other is almost an inch away from the bolt hole. the upper arm looks good i cant see anything bent there. the frame looks good at the lower mount area too. if i use the broken steering knuckle everything bolts or lines up perfectly. any ideas? i cant even get a new knuckle from yamaha till march 17
