Sir_Fernandes Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 First of all, sorry for this noob question So i changed my front arms to Lonestar +2 +1 a-arms (previous/old model) but my elkas are so stiff they dont even preload.. Iam missing something here ? Ever happened to anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 just trying to clear up, they were on your stock a arms, and now on your lonestar, were they just as still on the stock? or you just get the elkas the same time as the lonestar?

Sir_Fernandes Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 They were on some kind of custom made arms (said by the previous owner) which were wider than this one. I bought the lsr arms after the elkas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginger Posted November 8, 2019 Report Share Posted November 8, 2019 if the other arms were longer, they were probably sprung for that person with the longer arms which have more leverage to compress them. Best be is to send them to someone and tell them your setup, your weight, and what type of riding you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tfaith08 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Assuming the arms move freely through the travel without the shocks installed...Go read the suspension guide I posted, then come back with questions.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir_Fernandes Posted November 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 Thank you for your time gentlemen, i'll read that topic. When i bought this banshee it came with those custom made arms and ohlins suspension. Then i decided to buy elkas because the ohlins were over used and when i ordered (along with my weight, riding style etc) i said it the arms were custom made but they were longer than stock (even more than the lsr +2 +1). Those arms got broken while riding then recently i bought the lsr arms and got this problem that im trying to fix. Sorry for my poor english.
