| Ken Carter | I did a search to find a recent post on this subject,with no success. Could someone tell us how difficult it is to adjust the fenders? Do the wheels need to be removed to make the adjustment?
Thanks

| 2002SilverProwler | I don't know the answer to your question, I have never had to adjust mine, but I think this is the post you are looking for. http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/006555.html |
| 1MOR TOY | When Yellercat was down installing my SSS Muffler, we put my cat on a lift, made sure we had a level surface, trimmed the right flap back to the curve(about an inch) then measured the distance to floor and trimmed the left to match. They work and look great! Frank Tipton 1MOR TOY

| BeWare | I have never adjusted mine but I understand they can be adjusted and I am pretty sure you don't have to take the wheels off to do it. |
| growl | [color=Blue]Ken,[/Ken, I trimmed about one inch from the bottom of my front flaps. They still hit some speed bumps. Regards, Bill G. GROWWLRcolor] |
| Ken Carter | In a personal email, I have ask Todd Cameron to post the procedure he used to adjust his flaps. I have 2 Prowlers and they both are out of adjustment a couple of inches. It sound like this could solve the problem for everyone. Hopefully the wheels don't need to come off, taking a chance of breaking the center caps. Ken |
| Ken Carter | Todd responded to my email with the simplest solution, he had his taken care of under warranty. Thanks Todd. I just thought if it were an easy 5 minute job, I would do it myself to save the hassle of taking them to the dealer and waiting for who knows how long. Has anyone adjusted their own?

If I remember correctly, it was not difficult to adjust the fenders. I think all I did was loosen the bolts that hold the black arms from the fender to the brake knuckle. I believe my wheels were on when I adjusted the fenders, but I am not 100% sure. I adjusted mine when I had my front calipers off and am not exactly sure if the wheels were back on or off when I adjusted the fenders. I will try to check tonight and look to see what it is that I did to adjust them ------------------

| YELLER CAT | Ken... I have had my front fenders off many times and have never noticed any adjustment slots, shims or anything but the round mounting holes. They always just bolt back on in the same place. Are you sure you just don't need to trim the "mud flaps" the recommended 1"? Also, being you have 3 Cats in your garage, maybe a measurement from the bottom of the fenders to the floor for each of the 6 fenders will give you an idea if just one or more of the Cat's fenders are too low. Give me a call if I can help. Also, the regarding the 2 other items we recently discussed, they both are in the works now... more later. Best wishes, Jay |
| WPG | Ken,
I found this post in which Al's Prowler adjusted his fenders using the same method I did: http://www.prowleronline.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000374.html quote:

I haven't looked at my car yet, but this is pretty much how I adjusted mine. My passenger-side flap would always scrape and I damaged my original flap pulling into a driveway once. I adjusted the fender and moved it more forward and now it rarely scrapes anymore. For note, both sides are untrimmed. This message has been edited by William Gallagher on 07-15-2002 at 10:48 PM |
| Ken Carter | Jay... I have measured all three Kats and they are all different. That's why I figured there must be a way to adjust them.
Bill...I will give it a try and if does not work, I will take the Todd approach and let the dealer do it.Thanks for all the help. Ken |
