- How you set up and align your sxs will determine the longevity of the suspension components used!! This is even more important for machines running portal gear lifts. Please reach out with any questions!🤘#slikrok #utv #sxs #alignment #propersetup #polaris #canam #kawasaki #yamaha #honda #suspension
Brrooooo!!!! This was the most informative video o have watched yet. Got my subscription for sure🤘🏻😎 I’m running a Can Am Maverick XDS 1000R turbo on 4” portals and 36” tires. Just replaced front axles with Rhino 2.0 now I need to verify proper alignment. Thanks again!! Love from Alaska 😎
Hell yeah man! Appreciate the support!
Thanks for the Pro Tips. I just got a 14 RZR800s that you went over to confirm what I’m seeing. Preload adj all the way round.
Great and clear video, as usual. Keep the.good job friends!
PatoV6 thank you sir!
good info...nice toys in your toybox!
Thanks, great, easy to understand information.
Wow great video and awesome information!
Thanks for the info. I just lifted my 2014 Teryx4 Le with a SuperAtv 2" lift & Superatv 1.5 high clearance ARMS with 6" bullet 30% portals on 18" MSA M38 Brute black machine wheels 4+3 offset with 34" EFX Motovators. I am getting ready to set my tow & caster/camber or take it to where I work & put it on the alignment machine if possible.
Sounds like a beast!
One thing Super atv doesn’t tell you when you get portals is that you need to boost your steering, and to run clevis tie rods or you will get steering wobble with ball and socket type.
I just put portals,axles,b joints,hd tie rod ends, heavy a arms, 34 inch tires and my steering wobbles and it drives me nuts. How do I fix it?
I have a question regarding alignment. Me: 2014 RZR XC 800 with 26 X 9 X 00R14. On the front. 26 X 11 X 00R14 on the rear.
I saw a local ad online, private sale of 4 RZR rims with tires. (Bighorns) practically new... Size 29 X 9 X 00R14 front and in the rears 29 X 11 X 00R14’s
I payed 420, Roughly. (Just setting up my mindset here.) I was excited to put them on my rig. The seller warned me the tires may not fit my particular rig, because they are simply too large for the wheel wells. I said, “so what!”
I returned home, and found the new rims were not inset enough to use. With some measurements, I discovered the Engine Mount on a 800 RZR will be in the way of the tires on the back passenger side. The drivers side rear had clearance of about 3/4 inch off the frame, if I cut a inch or so off the corner of a lip on the frame. The front tire wells would need to be enlarged for any turning and shock compression. I used a heat gun to slowly bend the firewall kick plates inside the passenger cabin and that adjustment required inward pressure from the wheel wells by placing a fire wood log between the tires while reeling on the steering to jam the logs into the firewall, and and using the heat gun, it worked in short order. Then. I inspired.... what? What if? I asked my local tire shop t mount my new larger tires on my existing rims? First issue solved. Then! I could take it a step further. Mount the widest rear tires on my front skinny rims, and in turn, mount the skinnier tires on my wide rear rims and then put the front rims on the rear with the fat tires and the wider Rear rims on the front with the skinny tires. That was almost like a tongue twisted nightmare but I got it out. -- and now. That is what I’m dealing with. Clearance with no need for spacers. I found that by using my rear rims as the guide for the front, it was not logical. As they were smaller not as wide of rims then the fronts. So-
Can I just do it backwards? Use the fronts as a guide for the back? Anyway. It’s too late to turn back now. Have you ever heard of such a thing? And Please... I need to finish this Frankenstein monster, soon. PS: I fell asleep twice, writing this.
I just purchased 4" 30% GDP portals from satv, was wanting to know your recommendation for tie rods? I have a 23 KRX 1000, rock crawling and technical trails at slow pace is my style, i live in south central Pa and try to get out to windrock a couple times a year, wish i were closer to Tennessee..Lol, thanks for any insight you can offer, im also running satv boxed a-arms 1.5 forward offset and 40" motoravage tires on sti 18" 6+1 wheels
We prefer DRT Motorsports, shock therapy or assault ind. tie rods!!👊
Im curious what you would recommend for a tire for my car, i have 4 portals with 15% reduction, and currently have super atv XT warriors y for tires. I love the traction but they seem to be wearing down really fast as i drive on gravel alot and pavement occasonally to get to the mud, snow or dirt wheeling, i am looking for something that would hold up longer on the tread but still have good traction for wheeling. Thanks for info about toe adjustment as i just replaced steering rods due to snapping stock one into on a stump.
How can you adjust a stock KRX 1000 rear wheel with a toe in problem? There does not appear to be any means to adjust the rear tires on a KRX 1000. Is my only option to correct this problem is to install an after market A-Arm that has adjust or install radius arms that have adjustments. And of these two options which would you recommend?
Correct you would need to install aftermarket radius rods that are adjustable. We run the satv billet rods and adjusted it perfectly
What size and brand tires are you running on your Rzr? I'm having a hard time finding anything over 35's that aren't agricultural tractor tires.
How do you adjust the rear Toe? I just installed new radius rods, trailing arms and portals on a 17 rzr turbo 4, all components are super atv high clearance. My toe is almost 3/4 in off.
Can’t. Rzrs don’t have a adjustable toe link. That’s why can ams have 3 radius rods vs 2 like the rzr.
im trying ti do a align on my 2019 polaris ranger 570
Hey guys, thanks for the info! How often are you tearing down a portal and servicing it? And how are you judging if a bearing is worth replacing?
About once a year. If there is any slop or see any wear
Great explanation on alignment!! How do you all get those cars so clean?Thx!!!
Haha thanks, washed after every ride and then wiped down with SC71
@@SlikRokProductions same here but less patients! Lol
Are new rear adjustable a arms about the only way to correct a rear camber issue on a 2021 x3 RR? Driver side rear tire is visibly off camber , passenger rear looks straight and level
Yes you would have to get adjustable radius rods
I have a 2013 can am commander and had a bent tie rod, OEM Tie rods are pretty weak anyway. Got an aftermarket set which were a lot beefier, Not sure I got the alignment right in the front. Or maybe I did but a jam nut came loose and it unthreaded itself and next thing I know, the passenger side tire is towed out pretty noticeably. Do you guys recommend using some blue loktite on the threads and jam nut? Thanks!!!
How do you adjust the Camber on the rear of 2021 Canam Maverick X3 tank you
I'm having the same issue took it into the dealer and told em too and the alignment did nothing but make the wheel straight ..the camber in my rear is off noticeable to the eye on one tire ..I have rolled it too and let them know all this but it's still off
Best option is to get adjustable radius rods
Hey guys great video. I have a question. I have a polaris general with 32in tires on it. The super atv ones you guys are using to show toe. Coming from a jeep I would adjust 1/4in to in. I think that is how I set the general. I will definitely change that. Next question is I just bought the new krx1000 and don't like the way the tires sit. I measured and it has 1.5in to in. Not sure why Kawasaki would do that or it was rushed from the factory. Is it best to set it up with out any toe? Same front and rear of tire? I'm in eastern Pennsylvania and have lots of rocks/ mud. Seems dealer didn't know the spec when I asked them about the alignment.
Hello, we always try and set up our machines as close to 0 toe as possible and at most a quarter inch toed in
Hey Guys, Have a question, I have Polaris Razor 2013 trail model just done super atv 4 “ portals and 2” bracket lift , put 32 1/2 Outlaw 2s on it and can barely turn the steering wheel and it rubbing really bad on the fender flares, will super atv 1.5 forward a arms take care of this ?
Recommendation is get the forward offset arms and ditch the bracket lift!
I installed portals, eyeballed the alignment. Steering wheel is straight up, car tracks straight at speed on pavement. Should I worry about aligning it?
Sounds like you should be good to go. Just keep an eye on it
My springs are compressed. 2018 4 seater. What spring kits can you recommend? I want to replace front and rear.
We run springs and valving from MTS Offroad out of Az
I’ve got a ‘21 pioneer 1000 with the factory wheels and tires on it. 27x9x14 in the front and 27x11x14 in the back. Would this method still work? Only 200 miles on it and the right front tire is getting eat up much worse than the left.
Yes same concept would apply
@@SlikRokProductions so just measure my front tires as you showed in the video center to center then go to the back of the pioneer and measure the rear tires center to center then go back up front and adjust my front tires until they match the back tires center to center measurement?
I'm wanting to upgrade my poleris rxr xp 1000 with a 4inch Portal gear left what Size enclosed trailer would I get?
We prefer 8.5' wide by no smaller than 16
Does preload affect the width of the vehicle?
Yes it does
@@SlikRokProductions thanks for the quick response. Do you know roughly by how much? I raised my razor by 2in. Would that be about half an inch in Lost width?
@@joelchevalier448 oh man that is hard to say cause every machine is different and we run after market springs.
What do you guys think about carnivores? Too flat or do you think they would be fine?
We actually have ran the Carnivora yet.
Car? Lol
Yup just like a Volvo
