I've had them on my quad for several months and love them. They stabilize the front at speeds well above 80 MPH. The fit was completely perfect and constuction was top quality. They have even been upgraded since the set that I installed so that they now have a much better, patented, ball joint at the spindle.

By the way, I sell them as well. If your interested in ordering, e-mail me[knutzconcepts@msn.com] or call at (702)236-6852, between 8:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. Pacific time, Monday-Friday.

They are very easy to install. The most critical part is to ensure that they are equal, to avoid uneven handling.

I put the front of the quad on a jack stand under the frame and used a clamp to hold the stearing stem strait. I took a 12" steel rule placed on the spindle and measured the angle with a gravity angle finder. [$7.00 at Home Depot] I then removed the stock arms and installed the adjustable arms. Re-measure the angle using the exact same points on the spindle. I set my caster at 3 degrees more than stock. I set the camber[measured at the hub] at 1 degree farther in at the top than stock. I hope this helps you.
