Pic link below shows where to
check on A arm.
BROKEN FRONT T BAR MOUNT ON 100 IFS A ARM
spoke with someone from this
forum last night who looked at some
pics sent to me a week or so ago, and I noticed rust on the broken
section of the front A arms where they had collapsed, and then clean
break, which indicated a progressive failure,rather than a catastrophic
failure, this
pic is from one of 5 I have heard about in last few weeks.
This person took the pics to a guy he knew this morning who has a 4
month old 100 ifs, 17000km with 14,000km of that touring through the
Kimberlies recently, with non "adjusted" standard T bars, standard
shocks, bull bar and dual batteries.
They found stress cracks in the arms of this truck where they break,
which have not yet broken through, but showing movement, so those
of you with IFS 100's can keep an eye on the trouble spots for the
moment while a solution is decided on by those who need to do so.
In the mean time, if you cant
check yours, maybe go to your dealer, get
them to
check, especially if going on, or just back from a trip, and if you
do
check and find a crack, let your dealer know before it becomes a bigger
problem.
