Abstract
An All-Terrain Vehicle with a frame, shocks, and A-Arms. The A-Arms have an arcuate shape to accommodate a shock attached below a centerline connecting front wheel(s). The A-Arms on one end arc around the shock and attach to a spindle and on a second end attach to the frame. The arcuate shape provides additional clearance, beyond a non arcuate shaped A-Arm, when a wheel is turned.
