When you get it all back together and the shocks are no longer in matching locations in the arms, don't worry about it unless they are actually making contact with the arm. I will find it very hard to believe that the s-module isn't tweaked. And if it is, ride it. Replace it next summer. Or don't. I never replace mine unless it is really bad.

Ill take that into consideration, and plead pure ignorance with saying "my S-module is fine" ......i hope....

what broke would have broke WITH OR WITHOUT THE BRACES.... The braces would have given me better peace of mind about the E and S module, thats all.....

Im not worried anyway... More Ive looked at the sled the more I'm confident that there is no tweak to the modules..... Was a REALLY LUCKY break!!!!!!!!!! everything lines up perfectly, just upper A-arm mounts need some "adjusting" lol

Sled should be christened now. Hopefully you make the rest of the season with no incidents. Ripping the front end off should ensure you some time between incidents.

You still made out better than my brother when he bought his new pro, she went off a cliff into the trees with about 50k on her. $1500 in parts later its yet to have anything happen to it again

Glad to hear that's all that got hurt. I thought I was the only one to hurt the new sled. I crunched the rear bumper at 46 km. Knock on wood, that's all I'll do to her!
