Oilsmoke Posted August 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Thx ZIllaDude I was hoping you reply. My Son quad is a 86 and runs damm good. Was only on it's 2nd set of tires from being new, But the front brake calipiers are different colors one is purple & other aluiminum. the reason i state this was becuase the front right tire had too much chamber and the top of the tire was leaning out about a half inch, Didn't notice it until we cut the plastic. Well I was wondering if the that right side Aarm got change along the way with a new design. Possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zilladude Posted August 1, 2004 Report Share Posted August 1, 2004 Measure the a-arms from the ball joint to the frame on both sides, if they are the same length check the steering knuckles to see if they are bent. I have found out the hard way that the knuckles will bend before the a-arms. If eveything is ok you might have a tweaked frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
