Default RE: Genesis Parts Issues

Sounds like a good hit!! Been there... I hit a block wall going full speed within the first month of owning it!!! Broke 3 of the 4 upper arms, shattered the front uper crossmember, But the damned thing stayed running.. In fact, I was able shift t into reverse, back away from the wall and drive it another 100 feet back to the van with one rear tire flopping around until it locked and the truck drug it.

Anyway, I digress

Everything poo said to get, get it! not because its a cheap rig but because you WILL forget yourself and hit something else. Plastic is cheap to break while aluminum is expensive to bend!! And at close 17lbs you WILL bend the uppers, I never bent a lower aluminum arm just a 3mm hardened hinge pin!! 17lbs is brutal on anything going 40mph
