Im looking for info for a buddy that needs much needed help with his quadracer. The bushings or bearings are shot on the a-arms and the front hubs are really sloppy to the point that the rotors wabble too. Are replacement parts available to correct these problems vs buying new a-arms and hubs? Sorry I can't describe this any better accept that the front end as a whole...is sloppy.

 

Any Suzuki shop (or a lot of places in the mags) can supply you with new bushings (be it a 85 or 86 model) or bearings (87-92 model) and seals for the a-arms. It sounds like it also needs wheel bearings and seals, which are also readily availible. Installation of either is relatively simple, but a repair manual would describe both procedures in detail.

Any suggestions on replacing the front shocks with factory's or aftermarkets? It's really soft on the landings. The rear was rebuilt by a pro shop but the fronts are orriginal. Thanks for the comeback.
