Has anyone had or having problems with the aluminum swaybar link breaking?

 

[Moose]

Hey Shawn. No, I haven't heard anything other than yours breaking. Did it just snap, or were you crawling or on an interesting side hill when it happened?

Welcome to the forum!

Sorry about your pioneer, guess they aint all bulletproof.

Welcome to the forum Shawn. Are you talking about the link from the sway arm to the bottom A-arm? Where did it break? Any sign of damage from a log or anything hitting it?

 

[hoops]

I'd be interested to see what you did to snap it. Its not uncommon for end links to snap under stress.

 

[Shawn]

Honda wanted it back. Went through a small ditch coming out of the woods. And I actually heard it snap.

 

[Shawn]

Yes, it is the aluminum swaybar link. It snapped in the middle.

 

[Moose]

Yes, it is the aluminum swaybar link. It snapped in the middle.

Any breakage on a new machine sucks. I hope you got it taken care of quickly.

Those are not uncommon breakages, as they are some of the weakest parts in any suspension that has them, but it usually takes a pretty good slam to snap them.

 

[hoops]

this better no become a known issue on the pioneer -__-

welcome aboard Shawn, whats Honda doing for you? sounds liek you may be one of the first to see that for Honda to want it back...

Did you heart skip a beat when that happened?

 

[Shawn]

Someone will come out with an aftermarket set.. steel, maybe. Took it out today and sunk it. The water was pouring over the doors. Never quit running.. I am impressed with the machine. Put 26 inch tires on with aftermarket wheels. I am thinking of going 27 or 28.

 

[Shawn]

Well Honda sent another one had it the next day. Heart didn't skip a beat. Didn't know what the sound was. Had it on the trailer and my uncle actually spotted it.

 

[rich450es]

you said "you sunk it " ...water in the oil ??????

 

[soapy]

I had a sway bar snap on polaris 570 when I first got it and was steel so i am not sure that a steel sway bar is any better.

 

[Moose]

Anyone have plans to remove their sway bar? I haul a lot of the time in mine, so haven't considered it.

 

[Shawn]

Soapy, it wasn't the sway bar its self. It was the swaybar link. The actual sway bar its self is steel.

 

[soapy]

I should have said sway bar link because that is what broke on the RZR also.

 

[Duwop]

Yep, broken right rear. I quess I should have gotten a-arm guards, bummer
