u still got the cub

thanks man appreciate it.

after studying mulletman's thread on how to install the a arms. I studied the pics also and his spindles also sit back about an inch to inch and a half. I have the same year model a-arms he has. It looks like from his pics that the upper a-arms are switched. I know this by looking at a 450 and a banshee side by side. The upper a arm mount on a 450 sits more to the back than a banshee. I think the only way to make it work would be to cut the rear mount and use the front mount and mock up the rear mount and weld it in. I think would put the spindle more straight up and down and not affect the geometry of the front end as bad. I still don't think it would put perfectly in alignment. I think this is why it is hard steering. If I'm wrong please tell me, but by watchnig the spindle move while turning the bars it looks like it is trying to pull up on one side(left spindle) and push down(right spindle) on the other. Please tell me if I'm thinking wrong.

how did u install them?

drewski, did you swap the upper a arms?

I have alot of threads about the yfz conversions, I was able to purchase a really cheap front end off a yfz. I fabbed the lower a arms by cutting a 1/4" off the outside of the mount and fabbed a spacer. Now, I have a clearance issue with the upper a arms and the yfz shocks. I've tried switching the upper a arms from left to right and right to left but it made it steer like a road grader! I needed all 10 acres to steer it! It kicked the spindle back about an inch and I had clearance but didn't like the steering. so my question is does anybody have any pics of relocating the upper shock mount or what did you do to make the upper a arms to work? any info will be greatly appreciated!!! thanks! goat
