I felt this issue is so very important, that it should have it's own post/thread. There have been more than a couple of people who have ridden thier Firecats and had this issue with their machine. Please take a close look at what is being posted here. Myself, and I'm sure every Firecat (and any other snowmobiler for that matter) owner will agree with me that this is something that NEEDS to be addressed.
I copied this from a prior posting on this board that is titled " burned it down and broke rear end" that was started by firecatsnopro.
Thank you.

firecatsnopro,
Thanks for the info. I have read of several people that this has happened to already, and I really think AC should take a good hard look at this potential problem and recall and replace these arms with a better welded/constructed component.
This issue could very realisticly be a safety concern/issue. Can you imagine riding on a twisty wooded trail at 50-60mph. and having your rear suspension collapse on your sled, or.... worse yet, blasting down a smooth flat straight-away at 70-80mph. and hitting a marginal sized bump and having this component come apart??? This would definetly cause a loss of control(and hope that no one is coming towards you), NO IF, ANDS, or Buts about it!!
I hope AC is paying attention to these boards....
