-Herbie- Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 installed aftermarket arms, brand unknown and yfz shocks. the shock does not rub the arm when still but while riding and frame is flexing & moving around it rubs cause a little of the pc is scarred. Do i have the upper arms on the correct side of the bike? Any suggestions on how to fix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baker Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 i still have stock a arms on my shee but something dont look right in that pic, i think the upper arms may be on the wrong side like you said, i think the curved end is supposed to be in the back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Herbie- Posted April 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Thanks baker, i was thinking the same thing. but if I flip them i think they were hit the shocks more cause the other side of the arm tapers more towards the spindle. Since stock shocks are less diameter they have more clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbcmudtruck Posted April 16, 2010 Report Share Posted April 16, 2010 Looks to me that your arms are on correctly. How do your spacers look on the top mount? Are the spacers the same length? Are they on correctly? My arms are made by Wicked and the 450 shocks sit close as well, but not as close as yours does. Check the spacers on the top arm and make sure you cant rearrange them so that your top arm can be moved a little closer to the rear of the bike.

Yea the spacers are all the same size so moving them around doesn't change anything. Your shocks never come in contact with the arms. Mine are barely rubbing but enough to scratch the arms and shocks a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestions on how to fix? cut 3/16 of an inche off the back spacer and move it to the front spacer, that should give you the clearance you need Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
