Looks like the top A Arm on the passengers side (left) needs to be flipped over 180 deg......

If you flip the top a arm the Ball joint is on a HUGGGGGGGGGGGE angle. heres more pics. i switched the top a arms from passenger side to driver side. Now the driver side lines up perfect and the passenger side is screwed! The top a arm is hitting the shock and not lined up at all. this really bites, i waited 2 weeks for these, spent a lot of time taking the quad all apart to find out this. I have a race this weekend too and have to put all the stock stuff back on. Im going insane !!!

Driver side arm removed and resting on top of the passenger side.THE TOP ARMS ARE NOT THE SAME ARMS BUT SURE AS HECK ARE NOT CORRRECT.

Yes they are just+ 2 for a 400ex.

Really dont know what they gave me. No part #'s, diagrams, etc. Its a guessing game. really aggervating when you order parts and get the wrong things and find out after you ripped everything apart.
(no way i would of noticed without them being on the quad)
Even the lowers,where the shocks mount wernt even centered ,had to bend the shocks a bit,and tweak the bottom mounts to get them to fit. I dont know if its a quailty control issue or what,but so far my experience has been horrible. I hope they can help me and make right on this.

I did, it throws the ball joint on a huge maxed out downward angle. Plus, One a arm shouldnt have to be flipped and the other not . Im 90% sure i have a wrong part. What one, who knows???

You have caster and camber adjustability, if it's on an angle, adjust it. Maybe one a-arm is upside down, how can you be sure that it's not? Also, one of your shocks are backwards :p


Put it back like this...
