JD Performance Maximum Ground
Clearance (MGC) Arms
are now available!! We build MGC arms in standard
shock, and in Long shock applications. They are
available in +1,+2 and +3 lengths. |
Standard Shock MGC
$699
Long
Shock MGC Arms
$799 |
These are custom built, plan on about 3 weeks
lead time.
MGC arms do not change the ride height of you
your quad. The quad will sit the same as regular
arms. All shock mount positions are the same as
the non MGC arms. The difference between MGC and
non MGC is the bends in the arms (They allow for
clearance of obstacles for the arms). |

"The MGC are sick and they're hundreds of dollars
cheaper than any company I could find. And the build
quality is amazing."
"Only arms I will ever run." |

To set the caster is the fastest and
easiest in the industry. The top arms have "caster shims".
Simply remove the top A arm bolt (or 2 bolts for non Yamaha) and
relocate the shims and shift the arm forward or back. The whole
process takes 5 to 10 minutes, and adjusting the caster does not
affect your camber settings. Most of our competition uses heims
on the frame end of the top A arms to adjust caster. Using this
method is extremely time consuming and difficult to do, not to
mention that your camber settings will change in the process.
Getting both sides of your quad to have equal settings is nearly
impossible without specialized gages and tons of experience. We
have taken the guess work out of the front end and made it easy
for you! |

On our to A Arms, the ball joint slides
through the end of the arm, with a jam nut on the outside and
lock nut on the inside. Camber adjustment is done by simply
loosening one nut and tightening the other. Most of our
competition threads the top ball joint into the arm, so
adjusting the camber would require "breaking" the ball joint
loose from the spindle then turning the ball joint... not very
fast or easy. For those of you who are worried about the jam nut
on our set up, simply use a little Locktite.

Rest the
straight
edge against the outside of your front tire
(making sure both wheels are pointing straight and you
are touching the same part of the tire, top and bottom).
The top of the straight edge should lean inward for
negative camber. Now put the angle finder against the
straight edge and note the reading. If you need more or
less camber, do so by adjusting the outer jam nut
to acquire desired camber setting. You can also use a
framing square , (make sure there is adequate pressure
in tires so it does not bulge out at the bottom) butted
up against the tire and in the same place it touches at
the bottom, take a measurement at the top and give it
about a 3/4" gap. This is approx a 2 1/2 to 3 degree
negative camber setting.

For this all you will
need is a tape measure. Make sure the handlebars are
straight, then make sure both tires are pointing
straight forward. Before diving in too deep, we
recommend that you get two tie downs, connect one to the
right side handlebar and cross it over your seat to the
left side grab bar. Then do the opposite with the other.
Make sure bars are exactly straight and cinch them down.
Measure from the inside
of one tire to a point on the chassis. Make a note of
the distance. Then on the other side, measure from the
exact same points as you did on the previous side. These
measurements need to be exactly the same so that you
know your tires are pointed the same.
Adjust the tie rods so
that this measurement is the same. Now that you’re sure
the tires are the same distance apart, you need to
measure for the toe in. On the front of the tire about
half way up, place one end of the tape measure on the
inside of the tire and take a measurement from the same
point on the other tire. Note this measurement. Then
repeat this for the rear of the tire, the same height
from the ground as you did on the front, and make a note
of this measurement.
The front measurement
needs to be a ¼ of an inch less than the rear
measurement. Adjust the tie rods so that you achieve
this measurement. And remember, count how many times you
rotate the tie rod, then rotate the other side the same
distance, so you can keep the tires going straight
ahead, then take your measurements. One full turn on
both tie rods will change the toe about 1/8th of an
inch.
