Important Safety Information
Read and understand all instructions and warnings before installation and operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury, property damage, or product failure. Always wear appropriate safety gear, including eye protection, during installation. Ensure the vehicle is securely supported before working underneath it. Professional installation is recommended if you are not familiar with vehicle suspension systems.
Modifying your vehicle's suspension can alter its handling characteristics. Exercise caution and familiarize yourself with the new handling of your vehicle after installation. Regularly inspect all components for wear and damage.

Operating Considerations
These A-arms are designed to improve your vehicle's off-road capabilities. The 1.5-inch forward offset provides additional tire clearance, allowing for larger tire sizes (up to 30 inches) without rubbing. The increased ground clearance helps prevent hang-ups on obstacles. The robust construction contributes to overall vehicle stability and durability during aggressive riding.
Always operate your ATV responsibly and within its design limits. Be aware that changes to suspension components can affect steering feel and overall handling. Practice in a safe environment to become accustomed to any changes before engaging in challenging terrain.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and performance of your A-arms and overall suspension system.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the A-arms for any signs of damage, bends, cracks, or excessive wear, especially after aggressive rides.
- Hardware: Check all bolts and nuts for proper tightness. Re-torque as necessary, referring to the installation guide for specific torque values.
- Bushings: Inspect bushings for wear, cracking, or deterioration. Replace worn bushings to maintain proper suspension function and prevent premature wear on other components.
- Cleaning: Keep the A-arms and surrounding suspension components clean from mud, dirt, and debris to prevent corrosion and allow for thorough inspection.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues after installing your SuperATV A-arms, consider the following:
- Uneven Ride Height: Double-check that all components are installed correctly and that the vehicle's suspension is properly adjusted. Ensure tire pressures are even.
- Abnormal Noises (Clunking/Squeaking): Inspect all mounting points for loose hardware. Check bushings for wear or improper seating. Lubricate pivot points if necessary.
- Poor Steering/Handling: An alignment is critical after A-arm installation. If handling issues persist, verify alignment settings and inspect tie rods and ball joints for wear.
- Tire Rubbing: Confirm that the correct tire size is being used and that wheel spacers or offset wheels are appropriate for your setup if larger tires are installed. Re-check installation for any interference points.
If problems persist, consult a qualified mechanic or contact SuperATV customer support.
