Default New way to widen your ride!

The closer the pivot point for the tie rod is to the pivot point for the a-arm the less steering will be affected by the movement of the suspension. This kit moves the pivot point for the a-arm farther away from the pivot point for the tie rod, so it would dramatically increase bump steer. It is a horrible way to widen an ATV, and totally ignores the physics that need to be considered when building a good suspension system. Go ahead and buy one if you want, but it is cheap crap.

Ever wonder why the pivot point of long-travel suspensions (or any good suspension setup) are as close to the center of the machine as possible?
