Cost me 150 new arm bushing spindle plus labor 200 bucks to get it back the same day
 
post a wanted ad and go through the classifieds here. you should be able to find everything you need. I'd get a used oem arm over a new aftermarket. price will be close to the same but the oem will outlast the aftermarket. been there done that.
 
get the spi trailing arms for $150 each. You can use this time to upgrade your front shocks... trust me. Ive been there!

When I needed a trailing arm last year, and many other components(Ouch), found most of all I needed thru Betheviper(Thank You). But could not find a used trailing arm, so I went through Al's Snowmobiles, I think it was about a buck, but I did have to prime and paint and order a new sticker through Yamaha. Also, was able to cut the old arm to release the busing(where the arm mounts to the under running board mount), but had to bring the arm and bushing in to a shop with a press to install..
 
Stagg I must say the aftermarket arms don't hold up as u think they would! Waiting to get some coin so I can get the original in excellent used shape
 
New oem for like 160 not aftermarket junk for 100 bucks black hollow light weight alumin to me it's more like tin and tack welds lol
 
now you wander how we feel in Canada when we have to pay so much more for parts,gas/oil etc.Sledding here is very expensive..at least double what it is in the US..No fair at all..Now you wander why I complain so much.So much for the dollar being on par or more here and for North America Free Trade..Didn't help us yet.

I used a long bolt and some big washers on each side to press in the bushing.
