400ex shocks and A-arm problems
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I recently put 400 shocks and a-arms on my 300. I love the added suspension but my tires are caster or leaning to the middle. Is this normal and is there anyway to correct it. My tires are starting to wear unevenly. I used this pre fabed shock mount so i could use the 400 shocks http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Hond...sspagenameZWDVW
Anyways any ideas or comments i have been trying to figure this one out for a while????

I don't think there is anyway to correct this with stock 400 a-arms. The ball joint is fixed to the a-arm. An aftermarket a-arm will allow you to adjust it out.

Any suggestions on aftermarket a arms?? something that is inexpensive?

I just picked up new Burgard +2+1 Arms on Ebay for $172.50

Could you somehow affix aftermarket ball joints so you can adjust camber and caster? I am in the same boat btw.

My plan was to cut off the ball joint and having sleeve made to insert into the holes to make sure everything is centered and installing Old VW beetle tierod ends to fix issue.

Post some pics would ya? I did this mod for my wifes 300 and didn't realize this was going to be an end result. I need to fix this.

86/87 250r a arms have adjustable ball joints. (camber adjustable)They mount up just like the 400ex arms but you will need to use the 300ex a arm bushings.
