Update: figured out why I've been having such a hard time dialing in the caster angle
It's tough to see in the picture but relative to stock the lower arm is not just a +2 wide but also a bout 3/4 forward. The stock a arms have the ball joint a hair behind center and the shock mount a bit ahead...
So for anyone thinking "oh wow race suspension is super cool look at all them adjustments!"
It's a huge pain in the ass.
Buy an angle finder, and assume that your old frame is bent and your new parts were built on a friday..
I must have taken them ball joints out a half a dozen times each before...
Tldr; the new designed full flight a arms no longer work with carb model yfz shocks and are instead a fit for stock length shocks, but the build quality is nice.
Well guys, I did everything I could to make sure this operation went smoothly, did as much research as I could to make sure what I was doing made sense. I wanted simple, tried, and true but instead...
I'm a cautionary tale.
Can't even be mad because they literally fixed a mistake with the old...
Update: reached out to full flight and apparently this is an updated design, just not one that fits the description or pictures. They are still in the process of changing things on their website and the picture/description is more or less a placeholder.
Apparently the hiems are all upgraded...
Update: Got the definently completely new and redesigned full flight a arms
I'm a bit annoyed because I preferred the bushing design for longevity and I had to wait for them to make these, which it looks like they took an old set off the shelf and swapped on the new ball joint ends.
This is the only thing worrying me about the axle... the groove they put in the expanding nut doesn't totally cover the snap ring like it does on the other side. Anyone familiar with this, is it normal? I'm considering having a machine shop make the groove a little deeper for safety sake
Pulling the judder springs seems to have helped but it still isn't perfect. Running the original lever and likely cable too. You might be onto something with the cable being worn/stretched... if I don't upgrade to the raptor set up I'll at least replace the old one
Yeah the hub nuts being rode loose before I got the quad is one of the reasons i replaced the axle and hubs. The splines were just hammered. I've got every bolt I've touched paint marked for exactly that reason, easy to recheck. The axle is a niche adjustable one (same as the tusk/gforce) with...
