714banshee380 Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 this is going to be my first time installing a-arms and shocks. Anything I should know?? Lok tite on anything? I'm installing the yfz450shocks with some laeger +2+1. I'm hoping they'll bolt right up other than a little grinding on the shock. I just don't wanna be riding and my arm goes flying off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterlocal22 Posted September 13, 2008 Report Share Posted September 13, 2008 do one side at a time. this way if your not sure about something you have the other to look at. make sure all parts that are moving are greased and dont forget your cotter pins. its pretty easy you wont have any trouble at all. feel free to pm me w any questions. peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
714banshee380 Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Got em on today... still gotta tighten everything up and put cotter pins in. had to grind the shock and mount as i expected. They were still a bitch to get on even though i grinded all the crap. Just had to compress the spring with my hand and push it in. Will have pics tomorrow. Or maybe in a little while actually. Depends if i geel lazy or not hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
714banshee380 Posted September 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Do my top arms look backwards....??? for some reason they looks backwards to me but when i tried them the other way it looked as if the balljoints would not line up so i was almost positive that i put them on the correct way... but i'm kinda thinking about it now.

peterlocal22 Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 looks good to me. if you flipped them the other way i think it would be more like +2-1 instaed of +2+1, right?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
