+3 ST 400ex A arms... ???

[yamahamx14]

My friend has Houser +3 Standard Travel a arms on his 400ex. Every time he jumps or comes down hard on a wheelie, the front wheels will turn out and he'll kinda lose control of the quad for a second. How would he be able to fix this? I think the A Arms are made for a 250R, but I thought that they would still work. He says that putting 250R spindles on it would fix the problem, but I dont know. Has anyone ever ran these on their 400 before, or does anyone know how to make them work?

turn out? they shouldn't move. is everything tight?

sounds like either his shocks are bad, or the camber and caster isnt equal on both sides.

i would like to see a pic of the front of the quad, are the tie rods on correctly? if not it will bumb ster.

The wheels either turn in or out... I'm can't exactly remember. Everything is tight on the a arms, and I'm pretty sure the tie rods are set correctly. The shocks are 2004 450R shocks, that have had low hours on them and nothing but trail riding (I know cause they were off my friends quad). I thought it might be the caster or camber settings but top ball joint is all the way out, so you cant adjust it any more.
