Default project suspension, need help !!!

I can get banshee a-arms, the 3 shocks, tie rods , and axle for preety cheap, but i was wondering is there a way I can get the a-arms to fit my warrior, because the banshee's are different, and are they longer, and would it make a big difference, also for the axle, will it fit, if i have to change the bearings thats not a problem, do the sprocket hub and brake hub fit the banshee axle ? thanks any response will help out !!

i know the banshee's top a-arms have a straight bar goin across the top, and the warrior doesn't but i was thinking i can just cut off the bar or cut off the metal bracket and reinforce the other one so it might work ??

The A-arms wont work at all and moding them would be risky and possibly very unreliable which could cause an injury.
The axle looks like it would but you'd have to try it to know forsure
The 3 shocks will but I would keep the Warrior ones
And if you need new tie rods just buy better ones, the Shee ones arn't any better than the Warrior ones.

I really wouldn't trust that upper a-arm modded, if you cut it and fit it on it's just gonna end up bending. It's made to be attached to one big bushing, if you change that the steel design is gonna put pressure on points that wern't originally designed for it which will cause it to fail. Good luck though and don't hurt yourself!

you are crazy if you try to modify them to fit. fitting is one thing the geometry on the frames are very different and the shocks for a banshee have different spring rates cause the warrior is much heavier.
