I’ve seen it happen many times. I have personally welded a arm tabs back to the frame on three different P700’s.

Did yours look like this?



Check the upper a arm mounts where they are welded to the frame. More than likely they have torn loose.

It was ripped from the frame. I put it back in place best I could and welded it back up. Im going to check with the local body shop that straightens frames and see if they can do something.

Welcome from SC! Good look on your arm! Should be a fairly easy solution out there for you to handle it!

Sorry to hear that. I hope you get it straightened out and going strong.

Because I have the same problem, this crazy F**ker I often let drive the BEAST is always breaking something
