looks good!! what kind of orange plastic is that and how do you like it over stock.

Posted by: 02400exracer

thanks for the compliments, and the plastics are polisport, and compared to stock they are the same. they seem like they dont scratch as easy, but fitment was excellent.

how much you paid for these arms?

Posted by: A A R O N

Based on you comment that it rides awesome I assume you've ridden it....if those pics were after you rode it then you still need to adjust the front end a lot. Just a heads up, the a-arms and shocks look good though.

What is wrong with it?

Posted by: A A R O N

The last picture makes it look like it needs some help, especially the toe on the right side (left in picture). Could just be the pic i don't know, but it definetely seems off.

The toe and camber both look off, but its very hard to tell in pictures, they can sometimes be very misleading

Posted by: moto50

Yea I thought the toe in and camber looked off too but thought it was probably just the pics?

Posted by: Blue Ranger

It could be a bad camera angle but I think the camber and toe-in are out.

Posted by: 02400exracer

the a arms cost about 600, and the pics were takes before i rode it, but i still cant get the toe in out right any tips on how to get it perfect, thanks

Janssen has a web page that will assist in the proper set up. I used it as a reference when setting up my Raptor +2+1 front suspension. I would first put the steering tie rods on the ATV with the joints threaded all the way in and then adjust them until the tires are straight ahead. Then Check and set up the Caster first. Then Check and set up the Camber (I put about 4 degrees in my raptor), then set the toe. This is how I did mine. I Used a central reference point on the frame and check the distance from the center of each front tire to the center of the frame (do this at the front of the ATV). Make sure the distance is the same on both sides then check the total distance across between the front tires. Check the total distance across at the back of the front tires and turn the tie rods so you have about 1/8 (I have 1/4) inch toe in at the front of the ATV. That's 1/8 less total distance between the front of the front tires as to the total distance at the back of the tires. -does that make sence? Here's the Janssen web page.
good luck,

TRICK OR TREAT

Be sure that you are sitting on the quad when all adjustments are made.... You need a buddy to be doing this for you....

Posted by: 02400exracer
