Bent Drive shaft? How?

[drew schultz 320]

So this is the second Drive Shaft I have bent in the years of owning my RZR. I have never broke a axle or bent the frame but I have bent 2 of these things. Seems strange to me because I have never heard of anyone else bending them. But that could be because the people that do bend them just fix it and move. I mostly just want to know if anyone can see a underlying problem here. I tipped my RZR on its side and cleaned it all off and inspected the frame for cracks but nothing.

On my 800 the cross members were bowed up and started contacting the drives haft it never bent it though. I ended up straightening and reinforcing the cross members.

Bad carrier bearing not properly supporting the driveshaft?

 

[drew schultz 320]

it is a 800 there is no carrier bearing.

I wish I could upload a photo but for some reason I can no longer do it the way I use to and TapaTalk will not allow it either.

You have to pray to the Joey and Rusty idols. Posting is a very religious event!

You have to update your Tapatalk app. They updated their stuff so the old app does not work. Amen!!

Thank you for offering that up. I am sending to to a drive line shop to get it rebuilt again but if that does not work out I will let you know!

No problem.
