Outlander 450L 4×4 issue

Hey guys I have a almost new 450L. Last weekend we took it out and was cleaning the mud off of it by driving though some shallow water when the belt started slipping. I found that the breather hose for the belt was disconnected causing water to get inside the belt case. No problem I drained the water let the belt dry out a bit then was on my way again. But later on realized in 4x4 my front wheels were not spinning. I tried to engage and disengage the 4x4 switch with no luck. The light is on and you can here the actuator working but no power to the front tires. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks

Bent tie rod questions

I bent the right tie rod last weekend. We used a ratchet strap to straighten it a bit and rode it the rest of the weekend. After some research on here I was thinking of buying American Star Heavy Duty 4130 Chromoly Racing Tie Rods and some new OEM ends. I would use the left tie rod and the ends on the damaged one for spares if the ends aren't too damaged. Does the OEM Tie-Rod Ass'y PN#703500783 come with the ends or are they separate? Are their better ends that may be cheaper?

I added some pics. If you wouldn't mind, can you look at them and see if I damaged anything else? Any advice on this issue would be appreciated. I am not a great mechanic but with the manual and some tips form the forums, I can usually manage most projects.

Thanks,

2011 Sportsman 500 H.O. Has no power at all! I need help

So yesterday I tore my front end down and put new bushings in the lower a arms, new breaks all the way around, greased all fittings, new HD Front Axles, new wheel bearing (old ones where seriously shot) and put it all back together and test drove it for a few minutes and it ran 100x better and turned better than ever with new bearings. But when I turned the bike of I had it in low gear and 4wd on, usually doesn't effect it. I went to turn it back on and it has no power what so ever! Battery is full and perfect "my winch and sound bar still work fine but they're straight wired to my battery" all fuses under the front storage are good, didn't loosen any wiring or anything it just has no power at all.. anyone know what the problem could be?? Thanks!!

850 XP springs

I have a 2016 Sportsman XP 850, the stock springs are a tad soft and the front ones settle pretty bad when I put my plow on. I ride pretty hard and want something a little stiffer, can't really afford to put new shocks on it so I am looking at springs. Having a hard time getting Highlifter springs here in Canada but can get them out of the states but with the exchange they are a bit pricy. I can get EPI here. Are the EPI springs as good as Highlifters?

Thanks
