Post by: Knock10090 on July 16, 2014, 08:14:28 pm: That's what I was thinking too. Seems to be enough bite with stock by and a .25" spacer.

Post by: Knock10090 on July 16, 2014, 06:31:05 pm: Can I use the stock 14mm bottom ball joint bolt if I use a .25" spacer? I cut them from 1/4 inch steel on the CNC Plasma.

Post by: Knock10090 on July 12, 2014, 04:07:09 am: I never thought of tacking it. I'm not worried about ball joint or whole setup failing. I was just concerned about the ball joint rotating in there which could compromise that pinch bolt. Tacking it would solve that rotation problem.

I'm going to fastenal for bolts.

Post by: Wannabemxrider on July 11, 2014, 09:53:19 pm: I did the camber mod to mine and I love it. Took the nervousness out of the steering for sure. I used 1/2" threaded black pipe collar and cut it to 5mm in length. Ya need to get a longer bolt for it. I through a tack weld on the bottom for good measure to the a-arm and ball joint. It works for me but mind you any of this is at your own risk.😉

Post by: Knock10090 on July 11, 2014, 07:34:07 pm: What are your thoughts on the camber mod? Go with the spacers or grind and use washers. I have washers available. I just wasn't sure if the ball joint will spin? Compounding fears of lessening that pinch bolt setup they used.

Post by: Wannabemxrider on July 11, 2014, 03:14:05 pm: I used Helm bushings and so far been pleased. It was only $100 for the whole set and also came with instructions for installing grease zerks if ya like that.

Post by: Knock10090 on July 07, 2014, 08:42:15 pm: I think Im going to look into those.. I wasnt sure if the bearing type would be better than the bushing type. Slowly, I am learning.

Post by: ShankJr on July 07, 2014, 07:02:30 pm: i have the derlin or composite bushing what ever there called, if its good enough for race cars its good enough for my quad.

Post by: Knock10090 on July 06, 2014, 07:39:37 pm: What do you recommend when it comes to the A Arm bearings? Go with a bearing setup just like OEM or go with the bushings instead of the bearings?
