What to Know About A-Arms
Brush up on these quick facts and features about different UTV parts and accessories before choosing the one that’s right for you.
Why Do You Need UTV A-Arms?
Rocky terrain, landing jumps and taking sharp corners are hard on your UTV’s suspension system. All that off-roading demands durable A-Arms – the part that connects the frame of your UTV to your wheels. By replacing your stock A-Arms with improved options, you can get even better performance out of your rig, like increased ground clearance, better handling, and stability during cornering and jumps.
Are A-Arm Guards Really That Important?
Considering both the likelihood of your A-arms taking a beating and the fact that they connect the frame assembly to the tire and wheels, there really is no skipping or compromising when it comes to this crucial upgrade. Even for more casual side-by-side enjoyers, they are essential to extending the life of your vehicle.
Types of A-Arms
Whether it’s steel, aluminum or chromoly, each guard material offers different advantages when it comes to durability and how lightweight it is. Shop from high-clearance A-Arms, adjustable ones, or extended A-Arms.
Types of A-Arm Guards
A-Arm guards can differ in a number of ways, but the material they’re made out of is a great place to start. Higher-quality guards nowadays are made with aluminum or UHMW (ultra-high-molecular-weight-polyethylene) material. The trick is to balance protective ability and being as light as possible. From there, guards can differ in how they install, and of course, model-specific guards are going to be made slightly differently.
What’s the Best Material for UTV A-Arm Guards?
You will definitely want to narrow your parameters to the following three materials, which you can’t go wrong with: aluminum, steel, or UHMW hard polymer.
