bansheeyfz Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 where you get the spindles and hubs. what does it serve against stock? MOre travle> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterlocal22 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 ya you get about 3 inchs more of travel. also they work better with the yfz a arms. they minimize the amount of stress placed on ball joints at steering knuckle.

peterlocal22 Posted June 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 i got the spindles and hubs from a kid on yfzcentral.com. got a really good deal 110 bucks for everything includeing shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Ben, STill have not tried it out. waiting on a set of pipe clamps and some other odd ball stuff, nuts and bolts. cant waite. Ben i looked up that caster angle in my manual but came up w nothing. did you ever find it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash and Flare Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Is there any benefit to adding the YFZ spindles to say some aftermarket banshee +2+1 arms ? Do you still get the added travel like you do with the YFZ arms ? F&F Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bansheeyfz Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I dont understadn how the spindles increase the travel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wagonz Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 because it puts the ball joints on a better angle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben i looked up that caster angle in my manual but came up w nothing. did you ever find it? Cool hopefully you'll get to take it out this weekend. I only got that one reply on the caster angle, and haven't had a chance yet to see where mine's at. Is there any benefit to adding the YFZ spindles to say some aftermarket banshee +2+1 arms ?Do you still get the added travel like you do with the YFZ arms ? F&F You'd get more downward travel in the arms before the balljoints bind, but unless you got longer shocks you couldn't take advantage of it. But they are aluminum so potentially lighter & stronger (sucks that the hubs don't interchange though). I dont understadn how the spindles increase the travel? The angle of the balljoint mounts; look at a stock Banshee spindle and the upper mount is angled downwards, the upper a-arm balljoint hits the limit of it's travel and the spindle can't travel any farther. The YFZ450 spindle upper balljoint mount is flat; the spindle can travel farther downwards before the balljoint binds (and conversely it can't travel as far upwards before it binds). because it puts the ball joints on a better angle Exactly.

So, could it be possible that this might, just maybe be a semi-bandaid to the crazy bumpsteer in the long travel front ends ? Can we hope ??????

F&F we all know the old debate on bumpsteer will never end. the truth is that this does not correct bumpsteer but bumpsteer was never all that big of a deal. people made it out to be much worse than it is. you may have just ignited another bumpsteer drama which will probably unfold on this thread, lol.

Well I have noticed that the tires really like to toe in on full drop out due to the tie rod ends starting to bind, if the YFZ spindles allow for more motion, then I would assume that *some* of the bumpsteer would be eliminated. I been out of the banshee loop for over 3yrs so if my thinking is incorrect, please someone point me in the right direction.
