A-arm Problems.. I need some help...

[flyin300]

Ok, the other day when I was riding near a logging site, I ran over some rough ground and my front end was making a clanking noise every time I came down off a bump, I went home and inspected my a-arms and I didn't find anything wrong.. and another problem is when I get on my a-arms squeek... what is this.. help me out.. I don't know what to do

It's probably worn out shock or a arm bushings.

My guess is the lower shock bushings. Pull the bolts out and put grease on the outside of the bushing or replace them if they are worn too bad. My 2001 400EX does the exact same thing. It will drive you crazy, not to mention the **** you catch from your racing buddies.
