Hollister_Hitman Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 I am installing janssen mx tech a-arms (+2+1) on my 01 banshee. The problem is I can't get the upper arms to fit inbetween the mounts on my bike it is off less then 1/8". My stock a-arms came off just fine. I called janssen motorsports and the guy was like "well sometimes frames get a liitle tweaked so you should just bend the tabs and then when you tighten them they will bend back". I am thinking they should just fit since my stock one fit fine. Can someone who has these a-arms give me some input? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast Banshee Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 My lonestar a-arms were alittle tough to get in but thats somthing your gonna have to deal with. Just do what they say and bend the tab alittle once you get it all tightened up itll be just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the heim joints on the top Edited October 10, 2006 by Hollister_Hitman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast Banshee Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 First of all you have the top a-arm on the wrong side from what i can see. Maybe that would be a good start =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollister_Hitman Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 The stickers are right side up on the one I have on my bike, but look at those angles at the top of the armsnot even fuckin close! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast Banshee Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 nvm im an idiot its on the correct side did you look to see if both a-arms are the same bc they doo look really odd with that hemi so much father up than the other.

Hollister_Hitman Posted October 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 As far as the heims go I was adjusting them to try to get the metal pieces in between. On a-arm is 1/4" closer at the top than the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastCoast Banshee Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Idk man those top a-arms just dont look right. Try putting your bottom a-arms on and your shocks then see how you need to adjust the tops to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try putting your bottom a-arms on and your shocks then see how you need to adjust the tops to work. I can't mount that one top one It fits in between the mounts and there is still a little gap. Plus the metal pieces won't fit in the a-arm so I can't put the bolt through the a-arm and mounts. I am going to call Janssen Motorsports tomorrow. I am pissed. It took me 3 weeks to get these. I guarantee they have no red ones in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
