Default LT250R A-Arms

Alright, Ive got an 86 LT250r with the doofy camber and narrower-than-preffered width up front.

My question is, can I get any more width and corrected camber from later year (87-92) arms? I know I'll have to cut down the bearings a little bit, but thats a nonissue for me. Otherwise, everything should bolt up, right?

'87 and up a-arms don't fit '85&'86 frames! The frame mounts are totally different.

im aware of that; "I know I'll have to cut down the bearings a little bit, but thats a nonissue for me"

the bearings on the later model arms are longer and have external seals, while the older ones are shorter and have internal seals. they are both the same diameter and the newer ones can be cut down to fit the frame tabs without a problem.

the mounts on the newer machines wont work at all. unless you cut the arms in half and weld them narrower. youd have to do way more than just grind the mounts down
