rear trailing arm removal trouble
2011 Outlander xxc
I’m from Belgium an ride an outlander xxc.
Now last weekend I’ve hit a large stone, and unfortunatly the leftfront axle and knuckle are broken 🙁 .
Because here in Belgium everything is really expensive, I was thinking of buying in the states. But now I saw on this site axles from brand Rihno and from ADR
Can-Am Outlander and Renegade Axles – Stock Length -Rhino Brand : Can-Am : Can-Am ATV : Can-Am Axles

ADR is a whole lot cheaper, but is the Rihno worth the extra money?
Also I can’t see a lot of shops selling the knuckle? You guys maybe know a good shop?
Thanks in advance!
Regards!
and oh, sorry for my english, it’s not my mother tongue 🙁
Who makes custom A-arms?
Basically looking for S length, high clearance, with forward, and rearward offset, with xp1k ball joints, or heim joints in the front.
I have tried backwoods armor, and ORB. Apparently neither of them is interested because they won’t even respond to my questions.
I tried special carriers also but he said he’s to busy and will be for a while.
So who out there builds a arms and will customize them? They need to be high quality.
Any advice is appreciated.
Anyone heard of these shocks?

W.E. shock tuning
Very happy with the 2.5’s on the front, revalved resprung with crossovers last night, …adding a lock ring for the preload adjuster. No wonder people are galling threads, with no lock backing the preload adjuster.
Was really disappointed in the appearance of the valving kit. The new pistons are the same as the old ones.
Soooo…. the next time I pull the rears apart, I plan to work on the old pistons and put them back in. I have worked on dirt bike suspension over 30 years and see lots of room for improvement.
The pistons show lots of ridges in the ports that I can’t help but feel is affecting the flow. I will use my porting tool to eradicate the ridges and blend and radius the entries.
Valving-wise, I will see how it feels and add whatever feels lacking. I don’t have any shims to fit the W.E. other than what I rob off the stock set-up.
I bought the last bunch of shims from Holz racing when I redid my 2009 800S.
Anyone know a better/cheaper source?
The type of riding I do: putting around seting up and staking offroadracing courses through the fields,gullies, rocks, etc.–90% of the time
Racing over said courses-10% of the time. ( but a very important part, launching up and over jumps, charging whoops, cornering flat )
Loving the xp1000 other than the cornering/ suspension performance.
Hopefully the back redo will help with cornering as well as bump absorption.
