88 a-arms on 92 frame

[357warrior]

did this out of boredem but with a lil bit of modding they can bolt right up and there like 2 inches longer. i had to take like 1/4 inch of the outer sides. plus they moved the tire forward about 1 inch but they work perfect and look cool. but the only thing now is i need different spindle where the top balljoint hooks into i need an inch added on to that for the tire to sit right. plus one more thing is need 1 inch longer tie rods. prolly got myself into more work but they were here and to me a cheap way to extend to make +2+1 a-arms. let me know what u think. i will post pix in a bit.

sounds good...do those have removable ball joints? does any year warrior have removable ball joints?

 

[357warrior]

yea on yrs with removable is 87

 

[357warrior]

[warriorrider01]

i like! what is the cooler for?

this is the way my quad sits right now with warrior spindle do u think yfz 450 spindle would straighten it at all

 

[357warrior]

the problem is the hole for the top balljoint aint over towards the frame far enough if it was like an inch more it would sit straight

What about trying some camber bolts from an aitomotive application. Just install them and the adjust them to push the upper arms further out ?
This is what I would try. Did you just use the lower arms or booth the upper and lowers. I have a set of 87 upper and lower arms but I assumed the 87 and 92 were the same. If this gives a wider stance I may try to rig something up.

Honestly 400ex a arms will work better for just as cheap

X1000 they almost bolt up with little modding but you will need to make spacers

 

[357warrior]

how much dr are the 400 a arms than the warrior

 

[duneracerweston]

stock 400ex are +2+1 on a warrior

 

[357warrior]

tops and bottems fit would i have to use 400 tie rods to

 

[duneracerweston]

I just you cant use the oem 400ex arms because the tapper on the ball joint is wrong! but you can use the 400ex aftermarket arms sorry guys

I measured my 87 upper and lower arms and they are 2" longer on bottom and 1" longer on top than my 92 arms. Also, the tie rods are the same lenght too, so theoretically it should be an easy swap between the two.
