08 TRX450R Steering

[flyboy450r]

Ok im not seeing this talked about which i might be missing I had super slow net. But I have a 08 trx450r and it does not turn at all lol. Everyone knows what i mean I know I can put 04-05 spindles and hubs on but that is expensive. What is everyone else doing I know the qcqd does a spindle mod i think he might grind a little on the spnidle and I guess you can grind the stem. What is everyone else doing what works the best

Grinding the stem is probably the best option, if you don't want to change the spindles and hubs. Just do it a little at a time. If you take too much off, it will cause binding.

How much does that help?? Is it worth just buying the spindles I have a buddy that owns a honda dealer I could get them at cost. If i buy the spindles do I have to buy new hubs and calipers? I assume I need bearing and all. If anyone has a parts list I greatly apprecate it.

To switch to 04-05 spindles you need the spindles, hubs, and 04-05 upper a-arms. You could use the bearings and stuff from your 08 and you don't need different calipers.

Demb Question im looking at the spindles and the shaft is the same on all trx450r so why are we changing hubs?? I mean if bearings and everything else are the same and i can use my stock calipers it all doesnt make since to me. What am I missing I understand the upper a arms deal but the hub deal im lost on

[Dave400ex]

The spindle shaft is not the difference. The spindles and hubs themselves are different. Hard to explain without a picture, but if you see them together you can see how they are different.

[flyboy450r]

Oh ok i see i understand now. Is the a arm a must i see alot of people arnt doing it.

[Dave400ex]

If you are going to run stock a-arms I believe it is yes, because you cannot adjust the camber difference between the spindle setups

And thats the piont of the swap right. Duh ok
