A-arm problem

[njbanshee]

I just pu +2 a-arms on my bike yfz shocks. It sitts a little high but no too bad. When i turn real sharp the tires get stuck and i can't get out of the turn. This can't be normal. What is wrong with my setup? How can i fix it?

[NYCBanshee7]

I have the same setup, but i dont have that problem. What a-arms do you have? what size front tires?

[njbanshee]

Well, i had the full flight a-arms on there, but i just took them and are sending them back. I have big tires all around, i think the fronts are 21 or 22, not 100%. I think i'm gonna get the quicksands.

Quicksands kick ass.

...but I'd hate to hear that you end up w/ the same problem later.

Take a look at the bottom of your stem, when you turn left and right (get the wheels off the ground) the stem should stop on a tab to prohibit the steering from go too far. if that tab is not stopping the stem from turning too much you can take a rod and punch the tab back where it belongs.

another problem may be that your tie rods where not longer to adjust to your +2 arms -but you would of figured that one out quick.

Check that tab -just a guess but worth checking into.

I also agree w/ Pap.

The stop tab on the bottom of the frame is probably bent. Same problem occured on my shee as well. This will always be a problem w/ banshees. To keep this from happening you will have to reinforce the tab by weldingl some sort of gusset on the back side to the tab.

thats happened to me before. i just cut a piece of .25in x .50in flat steel and then angle it from the top of the stop to the nearest frame member and let the MIG do the work. just make sour you bend it back before you weld it.
