T3 bending spindles?

[pfi572]

Anyone bending them on this site ?
Couple other sites and forums people are bending them.
Some from respected members and saying not hard to bend.
Could be a good thing though rather than bending other things.
Some want to put XM ones on but will not fit as I understand .

Seen a handful of them so far. They are still causing other damage to the s-module as well.

I know of one that bent. Pretty sure he also hit something fairly hard too though lol

If someone has one, can they put it on a scale... Love to compare it to the older ones they had, that never had no issues

can they be switched over or is there other parts that will not work??

It's a different spindle all together. I would guess just a little weaker where it's taller/longer.

Any one have a picture of a bent one? I have a ton of KM's on my T3 and have hit chit HARD, haven't bent one yet.

Is that t3 bent, or is that what it looks like

The right one is bent back and inwards.

So why would brp drop the reliable design.. I have drilled the sh1t out of the older design to drop weight even on the 08 spindle that is almost a lb lighter than xp and never bent any... I have wore out the bushings thou from many miles on them

I think you'd have to hit a stump or something pretty hard to bend one.

Dan, I see a top one and a bottom one. Did the picture get turned?

 

[takethebounce]

I am not sure what the picture orientation looks like. On my phone it's a right position and left position of a left side spindle. The bent one is quite obvious.

I bent mine on a rock doing about 30km/h. $200 for the spindle and I'll fix the S mod in the summer...

If you look exactly where its bent, its the same design, shape and looks to be thickness as the xm. So why is it bending and not the xm's?

T3's are xm's
