FLM Emaxx A-Arm Installation Help Needed
 

OK, As usual the FLM A-Arms don't come with instructions which is the only downside I've seen with FLM's great variety of products. This leads me here to this forum.

I purchased the FLM A-Arms, upper and lower and am wondering the install orientation for them. They're the same front and rear.

Here's the link for the upper arm (Top). I need to know which direction they sit?? Use the outer part almost to the end for a reference point. There's a little millwork at this point. Does it need to be in the front or the rear is what I'm trying to figure out ??


Here's the rear link I need to know which way this arm installs?? If you look towards the inner part where the hinge pin installs there's a milled portion of the arm. Which direction is the milled part suppose to face??


I haved this shock tower and it comes with aluminum pieces and no instructions as well so if anyone has a picture or pictures with different brands and types of shocks installed this would be helpful??

I could be wrong here, but I don't think it matters. If you orient them in one direction on one side then make sure you do that on the other side. As far as the shock towers are concerned look at the pictures in my build I just made sure that what I did on the front was the same thing that I did on the back.

The area that is slightly milled out is more than likely designed to be the side that the brace installs on, so that the hinge pins can still stick out far enough without there being any slop where the not-milled part installs into the bottom of the bulk ( the milled part sits outside of the bulk, facing towards the centre of the truck ).

The upper arms are designed so that you can install the knuckles in different places ( 2 holes in the end ), which will result in them either having zero or several degrees of caster. I would install the front & rear uppers so that the holes are towards the rear, allowing you to have greater caster angle on the front knuckles, and zero caster angle on the rear knuckles.

The metal parts that came with the towers are spacers/ stand-offs for mounting your shocks- you can see them in the picture you linked to and they work like any other shock spacer ( you need one long screw to go through both shock caps & spacers ).

The lack of instructions is seen as an IQ test- if you can figure it out for yourself then you passed; if you couldn't however... :lol:

Could this be how "Beat Your Truck" was formed?
