I tried to post this last night and I guess it didn't post, so let me try this again. a few weeks ago I purchased a used Yerf Dog Spiderbox and have done a lot of work on it thus far. I stripped the entire frame down, sandblasted it, repainted and put it all back together with grade 8 bolts. there was some serious surface rust that needed to be dealt with. I decided to upgrade to HD ball joints, replace the master cylinder, brake pads, starter, rectifier, wiring harness, battery, front and taller rear shocks, stage 2 Uni filter, re-jetted with a 125 jet, 5 point seat belts, and the list goes on. The only things have have not really been touched are the internals of the engine, but it runs like a dream.
However, yesterday while riding with my son, I noticed that the front seemed to have a little movement from something when riding on hard dirt pack. When I got home, I started fiddling with the front end and all the bolts are really tight...but the upper a-arms have a little horizontal movement which is allowing horizontal movement at the spindles of about 1/8 to 1/4 of an inch, so the front wheels are rocking a little. I hope that makes sense. I am wondering if this is normal since it is on both sides. So, anyone with experience on this? Thanks!!!
