and you dont read at all.lol he posted about arms not shocks. and the 450 arms a mistake to put on,the mess up your suspension and steering geometry.if you go to the suspension forum you will find a lot of info on it.

there are several good threads with pics.

 

I did mine because i needed a budget way to replace the worn out stock stuff. It rides better but the steering geometry is off and it sets low in the front even with yfz shocks.

 

The biggest problem is the stress it put on the lower ball joints. it jams them to the extreme of its movement and tears them up. i had one come apart last weekend. scary stuff.

do you think it put stress on the ball joints because it sits to low??

Use the YFZ spindles and they will work OK. The angles are better on the ball joints. I used YFZ hubs as well.

You will also need +2 Banshee tie rods. Stock YFZ rods are too short. They will reach but not enough threads for me.

I didn't like them and took them off because they were too wide. A real hassle in the trailer or back of the PU.

I think its because the bottom a arm mounts on the frame are way too wide in comparison to the top mount. Look at a YFZ and you will see what i mean.

yeah i saw wat u mean but atleast the guy sold me the whole front end so ill use the yfz spindles. but does the brake caliper from the banshee fit on the yfz spindle?

[Glenyboy]

Use the calipers there was a how to on here a few weeks back, get the yfz master cylinder aswell

step 1...........................sell the yfz arms............step 2...................buy aftermarket arms............I did the conversion and hated it the stearing was all messed up I wish i would have saved the money and did it right the first time, not the second time.

[sstaton1983]

the only thing worth using is the 450 calipers.
