A-Arms
Stock A-arms are fine, until they're not. And when they let you go (whether from a big hit, general wear, or the demands of a lift kit), you feel it immediately in your steering and handling. The good news is that aftermarket ATV A-arms are one of the best performance and durability upgrades you can make to your machine. Whether you're looking for high-clearance front A-arms for a lifted Can-Am Outlander, heavy-duty rear A-arms for a Kawasaki Brute Force hammering rough terrain, or a bushing rebuild kit to tighten up a tired set of control arms, Everything ATV has you covered across a huge range of makes and models.
From rock crawlers to trail riders to hard-working utility ATVs, the right set of A-arms makes a real difference in how your machine handles, holds up, and performs over the long haul. Don't settle for stock when better is right here.

Buyer's Guide for ATV A-Arms: Helping You Shop!
When Is It Time to Upgrade Your ATV A-Arms?
There are two main reasons riders start shopping for aftermarket ATV A-arms: something broke, or they've outgrown stock. If you've bent an arm, torn a bushing, or noticed your steering pulling or feeling vague, it's time to replace. Riders on machines like the Polaris Sportsman or Honda FourTrax Foreman Rubicon who run lift kits will find that high-clearance or forward-offset aftermarket A-arms give them dramatically better handling and longevity under those conditions.
What to Look for in Aftermarket ATV A-Arms
The biggest differentiator between quality aftermarket ATV A-arms and budget options is the material and construction. Heat-treated chromoly steel is the gold standard. It's impeccably tough yet lightweight, can easily handle flex forces and hard hits, and will serve you well for a long time if you take care of it. Also, make sure to check your sealing and that you have greasable joints, as these are signs of a set of arms that can be serviced to last much longer. A set of high-clearance front A-arms engineered for a Can-Am Outlander isn't going to do you any favors on a Polaris Scrambler. Fitment specificity is everything with this type of upgrade.
High-Clearance ATV A-Arms vs. OEM Style
On the one hand, there’s no universal answer or super clear-cut blueprint that shows when you should pick one over the other, but on the other hand, there are definitely factors you can assess that may steer you toward high-clearance or OEM-style A-arms. For example, if your stock arms are damaged but you have had a good experience riding stock, there’s no need to overcomplicate things; an OEM swap may be just what you need. However, if you run with a lift, beefy tires, or are just regularly taking on more aggressive rides, high-clearance A-arms are absolutely worth the investment. They punch up your suspension travel, approach angle, and ability to run with bigger tires.

ATV A-Arms FAQ
Do I need realignment after throwing on new A-arms?
In most cases, that’s a yes. At the very least, an alignment check is recommended (especially if you’re going high-clearance or offset).
Will aftermarket high-clearance A-arms work with my stock tires?
Absolutely. High-clearance A-arms don't require larger tires to function — they simply give you the geometry to run them if you want to.
How can I tell when it’s time for new arms?
“Drifty” steering, clunking noise (especially when you’re mantling bumps), uneven wear patterns on your tires, or sometimes, you’ll even be able to see a bend in the arm itself.
