I've got a 05 turbo vector with some wonky front end parts just wondering which aftermarket a arms and spindols people are going with. So if youve replaced your and would like to share your opinion please do.:beer::beer:

I have a couple seasons on my Timbersled Suspension. Front and Rear everything is solid. Saves a bit on weight too.

Good Luck on your decision:beer:

My brother runs a T-vector with timber sled front end, rider forward steering.
The steering is worst I have seen in my sledding career. When the sled sits on the snow and the camber is set all is well, then when the shocks compress the skis point way out to the side, then when the skiis leave the ground the thing is pigeon toed. Thats all fine but the worst of it is when you turn the handle bars the bars stay level if not dive abit on the far side.
Make this thing terrible to drive.
Any one run into this, is this the norm for this style sled, cure for the problems, any ideas appreciated

Sounds like you need to play with the shocks a bit and either stiffen them or make them softer. Maybe even try some different skis

its camber and steering stem angles messing it up. Will have to check out a stock vector to compare. Thinking the fox shocks have to much travel for the ski issue maybe

I had the same problem and I had to change my steering bushings and adjust shock pressures. I have a timbersled front and rear and once it was all set the way I like it I love it! You might also want to check your a arm bushings when they wear out it'll start doing some really weird stuff!
