Well, I've got the axle out. The inner CV is actually fine - the outer CV definitely grenaded though. The axle shaft and boot are fine though.
Like you said, the axles are available outside the US and they're not cheap. I'm off to the local power sports parts counter with the spindle, inner...
Finally got my hands on an MRZR-D4 and man is it fun. I had originally intended to strip it all down and restore it, but I think I'm going to leave it as-is. It looks like honest wear without signs of any real abuse.
After checking fluid levels and the belt/clutch conditions, I took it and had...

I'm not sure if there is a manual, but like NDT said - the issue is the springs, not the shocks. Rod Hall and Fox are both pretty responsive when it comes to questions - the couple of times I've called Rod Hall Products, Chad Hall answered the phone.
With that said - the ride really isn't all...
