Just ordred some upper A-Arms
#2
I have the ASR upper adjustable A-arms. There are several ways to adjust them to tweak the handeling of the DS. By making the upper a arms shorter then the lowers it affects the camber which controls how the DS handles in corners by allowing the tires to keep more tread in contact with the dirt. by putting the top of the tires tilted in a little it means that when the weight shifts in corners the tire will still have most of the tread on the ground instead of rolling toward the side leaving most of the tread in the air. You can also adjust the toe in of the tires by shortening the two front pieces of the upper a-arms (one on either side) which will affect the turning radius. Too much will make the DS very twitchy in straight aways at high speed. The great thing is that they are so easy to adjust. Take a couple of tools with you and fine tune it for the terrain you are riding. The heim joints are very easy to maintain. Just make sure that they are centered when you tighten them up after adjustments or it will affect the amount of travel they have before bottoming out. Hope that helps. If you have any more questions pm me.

I think what cain73 was trying to say is that they are not only camber adjustable but caster adjustable as well. The upper arms have nothing to do with the toe setting which should be adjusted to a 1/8 inch to a 1/4 inch toe in in the front. The caster is the biggest gain for the DS. The problem it has stock is that it doesn't have enough positive caster(5.5 degrees stock). So little caster makes the DS twitchy. 6.5 to 7.5 degrees is a good start. To much positive caster will make the DS frontend push.
