i'll get one,but i was out looking at it better this morning i have a bet tie rod.yb ur quad looks awsome man,are u still doing swingarms? if u are i'd like mine done just lmk what i need to do.thanks
i adjusted the rods it just makes it toe in and out its like the top of the tire needs to go way in
k i'll try that, wont be till the weekend tho theres a guy about 1.5hrs away that has a ton of blaster stuff for decent price i just might come home with a nice roller
I'll vote for the spindle. The arm that connects to the upper ball joint to the axle part of the spindle is the weak link of the whole set up. Alot, alot, alot of the spindles I buy off Ebay to convert to disc spindles have this same problem. I put them between centers and put a protractor on the top flat to see if they are re-useable. Should you want to bend it back It will take some serious heat since they are made out of some tough steel. Oxy/acety with a rose bud would be in order. Probably easier to do a onsey on ebay and swap it out. Be prepared to buy one with the same problem though.
i will do all the banshee stuff some day but its not going to happen this winter,i got to do stuff to my kids quad to.lucky lil sh*t too i'm putting more $$$ into his than mine but in a couple years he'll have my blasty.

hmmmm i dont think the upper would cause that....but thats all you havent replaced...unless the pinch bolt was bent....????? idk, im losing all ideas now...
I just went through this two weeks ago! My tire, only the left front, was way out of plumb leaning in. I changed the entire left side (both a-arms, tie rod, hub with spindle) off of my 2004 that is being rebuilt. The same result. Finally I took my front suspension off my other 2002 that was straight on the bike and it fixed everything. The moral to the story is both spindles, on my blaster and also the 2004 spindle were bent almost exactly. It was very hard to see even sitting side by side with the good one. So if you buy used parts for your suspension,you get what you pay for.. Good luck
