Changing 06 front end to 05

[quadguy83]

Hey guys, hopefully someone can help me out here. I've heard that the 04/05's steer better than the 06's. I was wondering what all parts r needed to swap the 06's spindles to 05 spindles. I'd be useing all stock parts it i was to do it. If anyone has done it is it worth do and does it make a difference. Thanks

You need 04/05 Spindals, hubs, and rotors. I have done it and cant tell much of a difference. But some people swear by it and say it makes a huge difference.

You need the 04-05 style a-arms, spindles, and hubs. You don't need the brake rotors.

I called Baldwin today, about the exact samething. You need 05 or 04 spindles and hubs, everything else will bolt up...

I just did this also.

Upper A-arms are recommended cuz the 05 is a little bit longer and will help with camber. You can run it with the 06 a-arms, but you will notice more camber in the tires.

I felt like it made a difference....

I have brand new take off 05 a-arms and 04/05 spindles and hubs that I will be selling as soon as my 06 450R sells. The spindles and hubs have 10 hours on them.

IS the lower a arm the same 06 and 05? i have A 06 set i tried to put on my 05 and it had a camber problem so i am switching them back to the 05, but can i use the 06 lower a arm and use the upper 05 a arm and keep the front the same as stock?

[quadguy83]

I've already got the hubs and spindles. Just waiting on the e-bay gods to help meout with the a arms. I've heard that u just need the upper 05 arms, that the 06/05 lower arms are real close to being the same. Thanks for everyones help

The lower A-arm is the same from everything I can tell.
The Upper A-arm on the 04/05 is a tad longer.

Use the 04/05 spindals and hubs and the 04/05 upper A-arm and you will have a awsome handing machine.
