Was wondering if anybody has tried timmy boy upper a-arm kit to improve caster angle for better handling? They get like 375.00 for the kit, dont know if its justifiable for the money?

I have the A-arms on order plus the TCS shocks. I you repace both upper and lower you save 7lb over the stock ones.

Actually if you go to timmy boys website you'll find that the baja Ds did in fact use a anti-vibration steering stem which they are marketing for $210 if your interested.

steering stabilizers are great for riding X country and if you ride in the woods alot, WAY less arm pump!

Jees thoes guys at atv action missed that steering stem, I e-mailed Timmy Boy about their a arms and the difference between a shock type dampner and their anti-vibe steering shaft, I'll let you know what they say. I'm riding the dunes only right now, I think I may just go one piece at a time, A arms first.

Ive had them on for about 8 months and love them. Handles vary well. The main reason I bought them was because a friend of mine bent two sets of upper a-arms jumping.

DS do you run a steering dampner or feel like you want to now?

No I dont use one but have thought of getting one to see the difference it would make. I dont really have the problem that a lot of people talk about with the jerky steering. It might be the a-arms.
