Well I took my SRX off the trailer today and noticed that the camber was WAY out on my left ski. I last used the sled during a night ride last week. Upon closer inspection I found that the left uper control rod was broken all the way through where it connects uder the sled. It was just dangling at that end! I have not pulled it out yet to see if the rod itself snapped or if it was the threaded end piece that snapped. I never heard any noise or noticed any strange handling during the ride last week. There were no big jumps or any collisions or anything either. My question is - is it likely that other suspension pieces would be damaged or bent from me riding last week with the rod broken? I have no idea when it happened. I could have rode anywhere from 1 to 100 miles on it that way.
Thanks

I cant believe you would not have noticed a broken rod while riding, it must have happenned while loading/unloading.
I would think so also - but like I said, it was dark so I don't know for sure.

if you didn't take any big hits, i doubt it hurt anything else, just inspect everything closely

I had the same thing on my '00 MM600 a few years back...just out fer a leisurely ride and noticed that the ski was on a slight angle. Tipped her on her side and found that the threaded end just somehow unthreaded. 15 minutes later with everything but the right tool fer the job i was up and running again
