Hello all, I'm hoping to find my upper and lower ball joint sizes for my 2003 trx250ex. I need the length and taper so I may find a rod-end type ball joint, or a tapered shaft to run a heim joint to the spindle. I have been scouring for quite some time now for this info, but have come up empty. I'm adding 4" a side to my front control arms, hopefully my the pics of my project will generate interest. Any help or knowledge on the subject is appreciated. Thanks.

 

That is crazy. You're gonna get killed.

 

Probably, I'm trying to setup a proper suspension to prevent the whole death thing. Just to clarify, this machine is for street use, I don't plan on trying to wield it off the road.

 

An ATV on the STREET is even MORE scary. I think I'll buy a life insurance policy on you. Collecting on it seems very likely.

 

An atv on the street, with a swing arm rear, an independent front, and very high spring rates, can get scary. An atv with a correctly setup 4 link rear, and redesigned front, could be much less scary. BTW, I used my TRX250ex as a daily driver for over 40000 miles, never had an issue other than the locked diff, could out corner ANY street bike. Also, my new machine will feature an actual differential, which will help a ton.

 

Sounds cool. I guess they're street legal where you are.

 

Very street legal in AZ, register it just like a motorcycle. Cops here don't seem to care about non-DOT tires either, though my new bike will have DOT tires.

 

Nobody knows the thread and taper?
