Houser-Racing - Introducing The Slicast® System





Positive caster is achieved by rotating the ball joint cam towards the rear of the ATV making the ATV handle better in a straight line, but harder to turn.





Negative caster is achieved by rotating the ball joint cam towards the front of the ATV making it corner better, but twitchy in a straight line.





The Slicast® adjustment is the slickest way of adjusting your caster and camber independently offered only by Houser-Racing. With 11 settings, each setting giving you .5° of rotation, any caster you are trying to achieve can be set. The Slicast® rotates like a cam or bearing carrier, with the ball joint hole being on an eccentric. There are 2 pins sticking out of the upper A-arm, on the top and on the bottom. With these pins you are able to see where your caster setting is. The pins are not what holds the upper ball joint and the Slicast® piece from spinning. Tightening the upper ball joint keeps the unit from spinning.





With the Slicast®, we make adjusting caster camber easy on you. You don't have to know the geometry or why you are adjusting your caster; you just need to know what setting works for you. With the numbers on the Slicast®, you can document what your settings are from track to track. Just remember that when you are in the pits, at the races, cover your settings so your competition can't snoop!!!





The upper A-Arm houses a moveable ball joint holder. As the ball joint holder is rotated, the caster is incrementally adjusted by .5°. The stock setting for the caster is 0°, it can be adjusted to the rear up to -2.4° or to the front up to +2.4°.





Line Boring: HOUSER Racing line bores their Lower A-Arms so they will bolt up to your frame, ensuring free up and down movement that lets your shock perform to its maximum ability.





Bearing End Breakdown: HOUSER Racing's Lower A-Arm contains needle bearings, seals, dust covers/washers, hardened thrust washers and hardened sleeves. The needle bearings help reduce wear and tear on the sleeves. The seals, washers and dust caps prevent dirt and sand from entering into the bearing end. The grease fitting allows for easy maintenance.





Lower A-Arm Design: HOUSER Racing has developed a New Lower A-Arm design. This A-Arm is made with larger diameter chromoly steel tube with a thinner wall, shaving off almost 2.5 lbs. per A-Arm set and improving the strength by 13%





New Shock Location: HOUSER Racing has moved the shock mounting location. This shock location will allow a long travel shock to have a 5.4” stroke. This will let the shock be easily tuned





Cross Tube: HOUSER Racing has incorporated a lightweight tubing into the cross bar as well. The bent cross tube pictured below is a cosmetic feature unique to our 2008 product line. If the cross tube looks like this, then the A-Arms are our new lightweight design.





Ball Joints: HOUSER Racing has worked with our ball joint supplier to provide you with the best ball joints we can. All of HOUSER's ball joints include a lock washer and Nyloc Nut.
