ledofthezep Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Not sure exactly what you mean. Got any pics? More details would help...like where it's hitting it, etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ness Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Do they rub on both right and left upper arms? If it rubs on just one I would bet the a-arm is bent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Got any pics? Exactly, with some pics, we can probably identify where the problem lies. I have a feeling it is an a-arm though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NAXbansheeman11 Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 I had a problem like that and it had to do with a bent spindel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiCkBaNsHeE_990 Posted June 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 i cant get it on the right side. something on that side must be broken because the right tire leans in toward the atv. It clears the left side by like a cm or less but i cant even get it the line up on the right side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiCkBaNsHeE_990 Posted June 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 well i guess the pictures arnt working so... could a bent a-arm end cause this? if the top of the spindle is bent can i bend it back? help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sredish Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 there's definitely something freaky going on with that right a-arm. see how the left is much more open, more of a v and the left is more of a u, almost like the rear upper mount is moved or something. i'd measure the space between the front and rear mount on both sides and compare.

txblueshee Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 well i think i figured it out. I think the whole a-arm is bent. How that happend i dont know but i guess i need a new one now i justt need to find one. Jumping/ Hard Riding will bend the stock junk.... At least yours only bent... my left shock tried to go through the bottom a-arm when I cased a double. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
