Two quads down in two days

Well just my luck I have two different quads break on me. The tie rod end broke on me when I was leaving work on my Honda. Day befor I was coming down a hill and hit a log I think that has something to do with that. So now I am rocking the 98 sportsman 500 and on my way to a BBQ the right rear u joint lets go on me about 800 yards from the house. The same u joint blew on last summer.
