i just put on my herrman racing +2 arms and it seems hard to steer. im not sure if i have the ball joints angled wrong or if they are too tight or maybe i just need to ride it, cause the arms were used and the ball joints were pretty stiff like they havent been used in awhile, but they are not busted.

Maybe incorrect castor adjustment?

well the ball joints dont have grease fittings and i cant really think of anything else i could grease other than my stem( which im doing tonight) and i cant really adjust the caster cause the arms arent caster adjustable.

before i rebuilt my quad recently i had one side of balljoints that were BENT. you could turn the bars and it would make a circle without your hands on the bars. i replaced the balljoints and it fixed the problem

Where the stem mounts to the frame. Are those bolts too tight? :confused:
