I am just putting the rear suspension for my 2000 SRX back together, it is on the workbench. I reinforced the W arm yesterday and repainted it. I'll post a few pictures later tonight.

Here a 3 pictures of how I just repaired and reinforced mine. They my not display too well I should have taken the pics before I painted it black. I added two gusset plates on the top to tie the middle and outer tubes together. I grit blasted the W arm which revealed 2 small cracks, I inspected all the welds. I TIG welded all the joints which are known to have problems wiith a high strength filler rod. I added 3/16" thick x 1" wide bars from top to bottom on the bottom of all 4 tubes.

Are all W arms the same for all the pro action sleds? They look the same to me but when I go to a yamaha site it shows different part numbers and some are more expensive than others.

Welded mine twice on my 04warrior.When it broke the second time they were hairline cracks on the lower joints(on the skid).Just keep adding metal.

Just remove the rubbers and watch how high u put the gussets they will hit the rails.
