mule 610 steering problems

[dsims]

I have a new Mule 610 4x4. About a month after I got it, the front right arm on the steering gear bent. I replaced the steering gear for $600 and a month later it bent again, same exact place. I use the mule for farm use and the roads I ride it on are not that rough. Has anyone else had a problem with this?

im new to these forums but not to the mule 610 had mine camo 4x4 610 first one sold in martinsville va march 06 i use mine for hard trail riding some farm work i have aprox. 150 hours on it and can almost say i have abused it it WONT BREAK i would look at the articulation arm that the steering rod connects to if that has bent youll keep breaking that same part it does not take much to slightly bend it how that happend id love to know also i hope you havent upgraded your wheels and tires without the lift kit mine broke the first ride out articulation arm 600.00 the first time i put it in a bind SNAP front arm in half replaced articulation arm fixed no trouble since it might not look bent dont trust it let someone look at it that knows GOOD LUCK
