anyone have any advice on setting the camber and castors on the walsh a arms?
I put mine at 5 turns out on the front and all the way in on the rear of the upper arms but it
just does not look like it has the negatibe camber of my houser yfz. It rides awesome with the fox evol's
but i just want to know if im in the ball park on the setup, b/c iv never had a setup with the adjustable hiem joints as the walsh uses. Also I guess by the design any ajustment done effects both the camber and castor setting

We probably do get kind of irritating. But hey it's all in good fun right. I know one thing we all can agree upon(well for the most part)knowing your product and having a great customer service department, is the best way to do business.

first thing you will need is an angle finder.go to your local hardware and buy one they arent that expensive.going by a certain amount of turns or threads usually wont cut it if you want it perfect.too many variables.set your caster first then your camber.you will need to readjust your toe-in as well.

Im not sure what adjustment is what? Ill call walsh monday. I do know that the adjustments on the upper a arms affect camber and castor, but not sure how. It only has the adustments on the upper a arms, where they mount to the frame, not on the spindle. Im going to get a angle finder and get them as close to what is recomended and go from there. Thanks for the help guys

It is easy. You will need the angle finder. Like jfarrar said, you can get it at your local hardware store for a few bucks. The top a arm uses heims to connect to the a arm mount on the frame. The new walsh a arms use a fixed bottom to mount to the frame. Here is a pic of my set up.
