Buyer's Guide for UTV A-Arms: Helping You Shop!

Why Aftermarket Side-by-Side A-Arms Outperform Stock Components

To be frank, aftermarket side-by-side A-arms flip the script on stock entirely. We're talking about chromoly steel or aircraft-grade aluminum construction with TIG-welded joints and gusseted reinforcements at stress points. These aren't just stronger, they're designed with real-world abuse in mind.

But raw durability and protection aren’t the only benefits you’ll get from a savvy A-arm purchase. When you need extra ground clearance, for example, we’ve got plenty of high-clearance A-arms to make your riding experience that much easier. Forward-offset designs will allow you to jut those wheels further out, which is, of course, a must if you’re looking to run some big honking tires. Finally, if you need to haul heavy equipment or if you’re the “send it” guy when you see a big rut, boxed A-arms will keep you out of trouble!

Decoding UTV A-Arm Specifications: What Actually Matters

It may seem an easy enough purchase on the surface, but walk into the world of A-arms unprepared, and you might be surprised just how quickly you find yourself with your eyes crossed. So, let’s tone down the jargon for a second and break things down. First and foremost, material matters. You’ll want to look for chomoly steel if you’re going for top-tier durability, but aluminum is also an excellent option for a performance-focused build due to its low weight (and surprising strength).

Clearance and offset are more about fitment and functionality, if that makes sense. High-clearance UTV A-arm setups raise the lowest point of the arm to help you clear more obstacles, while forward offset pushes those wheels out when you need to. Finally, if you know what to look for construction-wise, you can really find some gems. Look for TIG-welded joints and gussets at mounting points. Find these, and you’ve found some real road armor.

Real-World Applications: Matching Your A-Arms to Your Riding Style

Desert runners and dune riders should look at long-travel A-arm kits that increase suspension travel beyond stock. This soaks up big hits at speed and keeps your wheels planted on rough terrain. If you’re more exclusively focused on work, i.e, ranching or construction, there’s simply no getting around the value of heavy-duty chromoly A-arms.

When you're constantly hauling loaded trailers or navigating job sites littered with debris, the added strength of chromoly prevents the bent A-arms that would otherwise sideline your machine. Rock crawlers absolutely need high-clearance designs with impact-resistant construction. There's no point in having great tires and a winch if you're hanging up on every boulder because your A-arms are catching.

UTV A-Arm Frequently Asked Questions

Will upgraded A-arms change how my UTV handles?

Yes, but typically for the better. For example, arms with better clearance will allow you to sail over those meddling rocks and roots without affecting your handling.

Can I replace two arms and wait, or do I have to do all four at once?

If you’re not looking to replace all four arms, then by all means, you can start with the front or rear alone and swap out the other two at any point down the road.

Will these A-arms work with my OEM suspension?

The majority of our arms are, in fact, engineered to plug right into stock suspension! Bolt-on replacements for the win, we say. However, make sure you always confirm whether or not any other suspension adjustments will be needed, as there may be some tweaking required in some cases.
