Front End Alignment


Az Bound

Recommended Posts

Does anyone know the complete specs for the front end alignment other than the 3 degrees camber and .98 inch toe in provided by the manual for a T-4 Trooper.

Although not a mechanic myself, I understand from a friend of mine, that more info is required to set up the front end correctly.

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

I don't agree with the setup you have posted. I do have quite a bit of knowledge around alignments/setup from doing it to my race cars.

What I would recommend as a starting point and adjust as needed:

+ 1 degree caster (note Positive caster)

- 1 degree camber (note Negative camber)

1/2 inch tow-IN

Reduce the caster to Zero if when you turn a corner it feels unstable.

Increase tow-in to 1 inch if steering feels twitchy/wonders when driven in a straight line.

Keep in mind this is not a car and will not drive like one. When driven in the dirt the setup is not as important and is very forgiving. The problem/most noticeable is when driven on hardtop/street.

Rocmoc:

Thanks. Although I haven't noticed any steering problems (always driven in desert), the front end just doesn't look quite right and we though we would check it, if we could get the right info. Iam going back to Arizona this week and we'll check it against the info provided by you.

Happy Trails

      I am looking for the front brush guard that was made by Off Road Body Armor.
      They stopped making it to fit my 2023 Kymco 450i..
      So if anyone knows where one is I would like to buy it.
      Thanks Gary

      My "R" light on the dash will not go out when I take the UTV out of reverse and put it into any other gear. Is this just the light switch issue or will this effect engine performance in the other gears?

      Purchased a 2011 bighorn banchee. Needs motor work. Not sure what. Husband is mechanic but not computer savvy. So, is there a manual that will tell him how to tear this down?  We have down loaded a service manual, but he says it doesn't tell him what he is looking for.

      I have the factory service manual available for the Buck 400. Just send me a message with your email and I'll get it to you. Although there is no charge for this, it would be great if  you would visit my website where you could donate any amount to help do things like this with others who need it. Again, there is no charge for this manual, and no obligation to donate. But if you did, I would thank you for sure. Have fun on the trails. www.warriorsoffroad.com
