I have a 2001 SRX700 but I think my front end parts are off something else.
One lower radius rod ("control arm") broke and I got one from someone out here last year but put off the work until now. Anyway, the new part is about an inch too short. In looking into it, I've discovered all 4 of mine are longer than stock, so my question is this, what is the length of a lower radius rod from that era SXR or VMax?
Mine don't look like after market as there's no outer tie rod end. They appear to be Yamaha parts with only an inner tie rod end and a normal fixed loop where they connect to the trailing arm, plus the "too-short" one I bought has the same tie rod end threads and I know that one is stock from an SRX.
More importantly, does anyone have a lower radius rod they'd sell with the larger diameter threads (my 98 SRX's have smaller tie rod threads) that measures ~17-1/2" from the threaded end (not including the tie rod end) to the center of the loop at the fixed outer end? Thanks!
