THE GRIM RIPPER Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I cant find an installed pic of these anywhere... I have the set with adj. caster (Hiem style) uppers... To be totally honest Im not sure if I have the arms installed on the wrong sides!! I tried flipping them but it seems they would interfere with the shock... I need to see a pic of these installed, PLEEEAAASE fellow Banshers help a rida' out... And If anyone know the stock castor numbers (degrees) I would apprciate Thanks!!!

XxMeltIcexX Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Man alot of people have had those problems with ASR, a simple search in the forum should fix that. I'm going to try, but the alchohol may stop me from accomplishing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XxMeltIcexX Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Ya I gave up... lol, sorry man I know ive seen many posts about ASR arms and which way they go, they never leave any instructions.. I hear they fit both ways, but only one way is correct. If it were me id give them a call, they should know which way they go.... we hope?

Meat Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 ya iv seen a coupla brands of A-arms that could mount up either way. ya'd think the manufacturers would address that confusion with a simple note or a mark or something. post a picture and we'll figure it out for ya. the top arm should have straight tube and tube with a bend in it, the straight tube should be at the front of the quad and the bent tubing should be towards the rear of the quad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should change them ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I should change them ? no no no no don't change em. quicksand a-arms ARE designed with the bend in the front. ASR and the other brands that use FireBall Racing's A-arms should have the bend on the upper A-arms towards the back. After I wrote my first post in this thread, I thought about you QuickSand guys, but didnt think anyone with QS arms would reply Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fireroad Express Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 (edited) heres a pic of my ASR +3+1 s . the upper looks backwards and may very well be, but i had clearance probs with the shocks when the uppers were switched. be nice if they sent instructions with these.hopefully thier customer service improves. so far these are a good set of A-arms and have had no probs with them. i lube the heim joints and mounts after every run.

Meat Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I dunno Grinchy, first thing I thought when I seen your picture is "that dont look right " But its hard to really say if its right or wrong without seeing pictures of it mounted the other way. It looks like if you'd flip your upper A-arm around, it would match the angles of the lower A-arm. I think you'd want both arms parrallel to each other. I dunno man, its a hard call. This ain't the first time this question popped up BTW. It seems that a simple set of directions from these A-arm companies would help alot of people.

peterlocal22 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 If you flip them around they would be -1 +3 not +1+3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastrthnu Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 dunno if it helps, but I already had them on hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterlocal22 Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 ya, curve on the back that correct but its different for other a arms. mine are like the grinch's and fasterthnu however asr are not all the same it depends on the year of the purchase i think.. im pretty sure they get there stuf from eyeball racing right?

rubberneck Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 I dont know who makes ASR's a-arms. Fireball racing makes their swingers though. I know fireball doesn't make the a=arms becuase the owner of fireball told me that. I looked at a set from fireball this weekend on a 450r, and they are nicer than the ASRs. Plus ASR customer service suck big donky dong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
