ASR a-arms ???

[Racer8]

Anyone running ASR a-arms? I am wondering what to run for toe in or should it be toe out? I bought the arms and installed them last night on my 03 Blaster, noticed that the right side wheel actually rubs on the top ball joint and when the wheels are turned all the way to the right the wheel actually rubs on the rear of the bottom arm. Can any one tell me what I am doing wrong? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Here are some pics. Could the top arms be backwards? I bought them used and did not get any mounting instructions. What do you think?

no the arms can only fit 1 way.it looks like ur camber is all messed up.ur wheel should be straight up and down when ur wheels are straight

Toe in should be 1/4 to 1/2" and camber should be 3.5 to 4.5 degrees with rider on the quad. Personel preference and type of riding determine where you set them within these ranges.

Are these +2 or +3? Are you running longer tie rods or still stock? Looks like you tie rods are too short.

didn't notice before but it looks like you might be stretching those brake lines a bit too....

idk the 3rd pic looks fine

Got ya covered. I wrote a very detailed How-to response, including settings, just last year.

Just scroll down to about the middle of the page.

Those lines definitely need to be replaced. ASR sells a very nice kit on ebay that replaces all the way from the calipers to the master cylinder.

yea i saw that but in the 3rd pic everything looks fine as in toe/camber

Hard to eyeball a pic tho.

The arms are +2. They are ASR tie rods, I measured last night and the toe is out 1/2 inch. I am thinking that I need to adjust the tie rods and bring the toe in as recommended. I think the brake lines are OK, if you look real close at the 2nd pic you will see that the wheel is turned so far that the rim is actually hitting the lower arm! I will try adjusting the toe tonight and report back. Thanks for all the advice.

if its that far toe'd out, just fixing that should do it. looks like the manual says 10mm toe in, (like 3/8ths)

^^^^Yep, get the toe-in right, along with the other settings and you should be golden.

BTW, nice lookin quad.
