Default Snapped a bolt in the rearend
Don't know how....since new, I have not pulled even one hole shot with it, not that I haven't been tempted but I somehow snapped the bolt that holds the rear axle carrier to the rearend. Half the bolt is still in there which should make for some fun trying to get it out.
I did change out the coil springs last year due to a production change and now I'm wondering if this had anything to do with it. Did all the bottoming out prior to the switch have an effect or is it the added tension caused from the new ones?
