I see American Star Racing now makes LT Arms for the 400ex. What is your guy's opinion on them? Says they have a lifetime guarantee...??? Price is about $800...

those look like their probably the worst a-arms i have ever seen, def. the worst LT arms. i hate american star, they make crappy products and the company has an extremely shady buisness history (back when they were last rebel racing)

They look good to me..2 of my buddies have 1 swingarm for a 250R that is pretty beefy and it holds up great never had one problem...Another buddy just got one for his 400 but has not had much time on it yet..But id run them if they were handed to me

look into atv racing a-arms. They're really beefy and only about 700 bucks for LT. atv racing's site is atvracing1.com, pcpoffroad.com sells atv racings stuff as well.

whats the point of having two hemi joints for the shock mount.

Most likely to make up for bad designs, bad fixturing and bad quality control!! These a-arms have many weak points in the design, I would be very leary about using them on anything rougher than a paved road!!!!

What I don't get is why have them sticking out of the cross brace. this design only puts a lot of stress on unneed part. I was think the did it to look cooler than the next guy. But its unneed complexty. Simple and sztrond is the way to go.
