Why heck yea,thats what I would do.Take the suspension off and let'er rip,Who needs it anyway.I have no idea where people ever come up with the idea of suspension,what a crazy idea.

How are the tires suppose to move on a swing arm?
Are you talkin how they go out alittle instead of going up and down like a duel arm?
Or,just get another that you like in a year or two,cuz she'll out grow this one in no time.

well i put the spacers on today and it helped alot but the single a arm is dangerous ill just keep her putting around till we can get her a better built one to easy to roll with that how the tire almost folds in if turning and hit a bump at same time i will have to get pics its scary

On some of the quads with single a arms the tie rods can either be bolted to the top or the bottom of the steering shaft mount. And the same for the arm on the front spindle. The steeper the angle the tie rod is mounted the worse the turning in effect is. See if you can move either end of the tie rod to lessen the angle.
