Those are hella nice a-arms and shocks Kev!

Dumb question, why is the adjustment notch inboard on these tie rods? (IE closer to the frame than the wheel, instead of OEM style) ?

I believe that's a Kawasaki style Tie rod, the Yamaha designs are pretty week IMHO.

Weak is sometimes a good thing...I had Tusk chromoly tie rods on mine when I hit that :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: stump and everything else broke except the tie rods...so it might be better to let em bend a little bit, that's an easier fix than a bent a-arm and bent wheels :lol:

Aaron is correct...oh and I really dont think you can hurt these arms or tie rods....add the stem and it is as bullet proof as it can be.....Just my opinion....

I don't doubt you at all, sorry for the threadjack...I was just wondering if it was a different design with these tie rods....They look awesome either way  :nana:

a tree root bent my oem tierods, these on the ARS kit are designed to absorb the impact also, but stronger than OEMs that can't even handle basic terrain.
