switching a-arms on HCR

[Pinebeatle]

If I want to switch a-arms on My HCR to snow pro is that all I need? Shocks,bushings, ect they will all fit? Many thanks--Cheers

Theyw ill fit yah, but you will also need tie rods.

 

[Pinebeatle]

so the spindles and ball joints?

No. All the parts you will need is new a-arms, tie rods, shocks.

yup. only parts that will transfer over are the spindles and most of the bushings and bolts. The outside bolt for the bottom a-arm will be different along with the 2 bushings. shocks will be too long.

Damm, I thought this would be a easy fix, ei: not to many parts to buy-- Thanks for the info--Cheers

Why do you want to change out your front suspension to a snow pro style?

narrower would my guess, should side hill a little easier

I guess. I am debating on going the other way, Still undecided, I like the idea of having springs and shocks instead of just shocks.

If you go with the shocks off of a standard M8 then you still have springs and shocks not the floats. They are zero pro shocks just like on the hcr but about an inch shorter due to the narrower ski stance.

Do you happen to have a set for sale ? And how much $$$$

Would a guy be better off to leave it alone or to change it out to the standard set up ? I just don't know a lot about the reliability of the floats and proper set up. Most likely because it is all new to me.

I way prefer the zero pro's on the cats over the floats. I took the floats off of mine and sold them and run the zero pro's now and they are way better. I'll check and see what i have for stock and let you know tomorow

i just changed my hcr arms to the standard ones. the hcr shocks fit no problem it just pushes your spindle out at the bottom a little. and the tie rods can be shortened. you just need a left hand tap. i will post pictures later.

Been riding this sled now for two months and I dont think I will change to a smaller ski stance, the sled performs very well in the deep, side hilling is no prob! I love this sled--Cheers
