Sport Quad Front End Alignment

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

I wanted to document a video showing how to do a quick and precise front end alignment. There are better ways, but this works extremely well. Give it a try!

    The extra 1/8" of toe from lonestar is prolly to retain front end trackability to keep from wandering while under hard acceleration where the front tires are barely putting pressure on ground. So this extra 1/8" toe will function the same as if there is normal pressure on front tires at the normal 1/8" toe but not under hard acceleration. So hard accelerating is better with 1/4" toe. Normal cruising or just high speed riding without hard acceration from corner to corner sprinting around on a track would work good at 1/8" toe

    Great info! I suspect you are probably right on that. For whatever reason down here in FL every quad that I setup people are very happy with the 1/8" toe in and we ride fairly aggressively skimming over whoops, etc...

    I have an '08 LTZ 400 limited edition it has a slight pull to the right I put new tires on it but still has that slight pull to the right I measured tire circumference equally perfect match front and rear with equal tire psi ...I swap tire from left side to the right still has a slight pull to the right I towed the right wheel in 10 mm and added + 2 lb of air to the right front and rear tires and on asphalt and steeper crowns it's still pull slightly to the right but it did help a lot I measured the distance of the axles front and rear on both sides the right side comes out 20 mm shorter than the left side in the right rear the tire is 20 mm closer to the mudguard then the left side and the rear sprocket rides toward the right on the front leading edge in the chain .. so I'm guessing at least it looks like the carrier bearing is not true squared in the swing arm and I don't know of any way of adjusting the tracking on the rear other than to modify the swing arm or the the bolts in order to add enough play to compensate for adjustment which I'm hesitant to do

    Yep, sounds like the stock swingarm adjustment holes are slightly ovaled out. That will cause the rear carrier to be biased toward one side. Live with it, fix it, or upgrade the swingarm.

    No, not really a pain in the butt. To put it simply, everything from the Swingarm pivot backwards becomes LTR except for the rear shock, that stays LTZ. If cost is an issue go LTR, if you want to do it 100% right get an aftermarket LTZ swingarm from Lonestar or Fireball.
