New to the SxS game. 2018 P1000-5 I bought in Feb, stumbled on this forum looking for ball joint repair info and it seems like a great community

I'll include some pics of the recovery/repair. From what I can tell 2 busted ball joints and the upper A-arm broke off the chassis. Parts ordered

If anyone has suggestions of hidden issues I should check for or repair tips, lmk!

Edit: the pic I took was right off the trailer, the jack stands are now at the appropriate lift points

Welcome from south Florida
Sorry about the buggy. If you haven't already, read up on modifying/reinforcing them a-arm tabs. Very easy to do with some shop time/tools.

Good luck 👍

Welcome from NW Arkansas! Check with the Club Store here. I think Richard was going to start stocking reinforcement washers and bolts, in fact I check with the Club Store first for any special parts. They're better than OEM parts in my opinion, good luck!
