Here is our problem!
We have a set of Snyder +3 +1 a-arms on our 92 Blaster and we have been using Banshee spindles and have been having difficulting turning the handlebars and the camber adjustment is all the way out. It appears that the upper balljoints are in a bind. Dont get me wrong, you can turn the bars but it requires more effort than it should.
From what I have learned the Banshee and warrior spindles have the same part number. I'm trying to find out if the 03 and newer Blaster spindles have the same part number as the Banshee and the Warrior or is it the same as the Raptor or is it totally different than all three.
Has anyone used these a-arms with Banshee or Warrior spindes before?
I have talked to Shawn at Snyder and he told me that the a-arms were designed for the Blaster spindles and he was not 100% sure if they would work with the Banshee spindles or not. He said that the geometry on the pre03 Blaster spindles and the newer Blaster spindles are the same.
If anyone can shed some light on this subject I would appreciate it!
Thanks,
Bill

Ive got part of my answer. The 03 Blaster spindle/knuckle has a different part number than the Banshee,Warrior and the Raptor. I'm still wondering if the geometry on the Blaster spindles is different than the Banshee Warrior?  |

yes, the blaster spindles are much different than a warriors. the warriors built in toe in and the tierod end mounting location are totaly different places. the new blaster have there own spindles, they dont share them with any other quad

There must be a difference in spindle geometry, if you look in the pb store, many of the a-arms are for 03+ (banshee spindles I believe) and some are for the older models with the drum brake spindles. The 03+ arms are more expensive..  |

the 03+ are not banshee spindles. the arms are probably set up for 03+ or 02- with banshee spindles. there more problems with banshee spindles than just the geometry tho, so i would call a used parts place and get a set of 03 spindles and mount the banshee/warrior/raptor/2003blaster calipers to them

blaster spindles are about an 1'' taller then the banshee and warrior ones, so yes liek you said, your upper ball joint is binding.
find some 03+ spindles. (good luck too! lol)
the new 03 and up blasters are not the same as the shee and warriors. like the other guy said, the newer blaster have all new spindles, not ones from another yamaha.
to fix your problem and run the hydros, you need to make mounts on the stock spindles for the calipers, or just get some 03+ spindles.

There was a whole setup of an 04 on ebay, it went for almost $250. If you try to put these on your sms arms, they still might not work. The sms arms in the pb store ar for either the 03+ or the older models. If you bought the ones for the older model, I assume they wont work with the 03+ spindles.

The only thing I will have to change for the a-arms to work with the 03 Blaster spindles is the upper balljoints!
