I just installed +2 +1 a arms on my 88 lt250.The problem is when the suspension is compressed the front wheels turn in,and when the suspension is is decompressed (like in a wheely,the wheels turn out.can anyone help?

 

Sounds like bump-steer.
Who built the arms? Might be a design issue with them...

It'll handle like crap with a lot of bump-steer IMHO.

 

you want the wheels to be towed in alittle bit when the machine is just sitting by it self, this way when you sit on it or go over terain the suspension pushes the wheels straight. adjust your tie rods longer alittle bit just enought where the tires appears to be pointing in. its a tedius process but it pays off if you do it right

 

So this is normal? I have it adjusted like you were saying to. It looks a little towed in when sitting alone. They are cheaper a arms full flight racing

 

yep, you got it. another quick way of doing it is measuring the tie rods from center the center on the bolts. Measue the stock ones and then add 2" to that and it should give you the same ratio.

 

You are experiencing an issue that has to do with front geometry, and the relationship between the tie rod mounting points and the a arm mounting points. On the LT, the frame is wider than most in the front so the tie rods are quite a bit longer than the a arms, more so than other models. As the suspension goes through its motion, that relationship with longer a arms exagerates the error.

Or at least that's what I think. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

Is there a fix besides using standard length a arms?

 

You are correct.


There is no real fix for the front end problems aside from having an aftermarket frame made.
