thats right there are no instructions with the bar. i had one on mine for 2 years now (ice race) upper mounts go thru front A arm bolts, link arms with adjustment holes go down thru middle of upper A arms to front of shock bolts. try to align heim adjustment so is straight up and down, not angled forward or back.titen the right side will help alot for turning left. what kind of racing are you doing?

Ice racing, I think we spoke before.

The instructions that come with the bar are very weak, thanks for your help.

Did you lower your front end? how do you set your shocks up?

i cut the stock springs to get it down, did'nt work that great so i softened the shock all the way and hooked tie down straps to the lower A arm to the upper cross brace for the shocks, pull down instantly lowered. the best way to lower the front end would be to install shorter shocks, i did this last year but the banshee shocks i used last year were to low. run about 12-20 psi in you'r fron tires and 10 in the rears. rear shock just loosen up as much as can until chain roller starts to self destruct. come on up to lake wisconsin some sunday, i've got a 24' car hauler we stay warm in ( complete w/pizza oven,generator,furnace)

yes you need alot of air in the fronts to keep it from flexing. i practiced with 6psi then went to 10psi what a difference!! then adjust the right side sway bar tite a few turns and you'r all set. what tires are you running?

Where did you get you big bore kit and how much was it? if you don't mind me asking.

I am getting spanked by a 250 r with a 425 kit. I need more HP. But first I must tune the handling or the power is useless.

Pipe, K&N, Jet Kit so far for power.

Do you know what is better a new 45 or dual carbs?
