My name is Matt and I'm from Brick New Jersey. Some of you guys may know me from afew other forums like polarispros.com, polarisproriders.com,bigborepredators.com polarisriders.com, gen3usa.com, atvconnection.com and others..
I just found this forum though a post on polarisproriders.com. so since im at most polaris forums I might as well join this also.
I go by the Name Team Bricktucky.
I have a polaris service tech cert and sales training, but I do not work at polaris and never really did . I had a sponsership with a local polaris dealer for racing, so the owner of the shop took care of me well with training and parts. I know alot about polaris and have been invited BY polaris for new model R&D test rides afew times.
Im a engineer on a research ship Atlantic Surveyor(yeah offshore)and have been here for 15+ years.
I currently own 6 ATV's, two polaris predator 500's , 2008 polaris outlaw 525 sra, 2 yamaha banshees and a polaris scrambler 400 that is hardly a scrambler anymore, It has a polaris predator double a-arm front end.

anyway Im here to say hi and here to help when I can.

do you posssibly know how to remove a bent tie rod? i took off the nuts from both sidess of it and i read it should just turn off but i cant seem to get it

You might want to take the rod ends off the spindles and stem/post(another words take the whole rod off). The tierod ends maybe bent also, so they will not turn out of the tierod its self.

i actually got it off by hitting it with a hammer a bit! the ends look alright. should i just replace the rod or just bend it back and use it? are they cheap?

I'd replace it if it was mine. What atv are we talking about here?
