Does anybody that has upgraded to aftermarket A-arms want to sell me their good stock ball joints? Also is there any place on the internet I can try to find them cheaper? I just had my a-arms powdercoated on my drag bike and I have a couple that are bad. Please help if you can.

thanks in advance,
Brandon

 

I think you should have put it in the garage thread......

 

I would try EBAY or another dealer somewhere else. That price seems really high, although I do not know since I have never priced them, but do know that a a-arm is only about $100 "top", $130 "bottom". Good luck

 

You can get them from parkeryamaha.com for about 90.00 each. Those ball joints are really expensive. I was going to powdercoat my A-arms and I decided to sell my set and get an aftermarket brand. I set that I got are much cheaper to replace the bushing and ball joints.

 

I ended up buying a set of Aftermarket A Arms due to the fact that I had 2 bad balljoints. I figured that for 200 more dollars I could get +2 a arms and all new ***** joints rather than just replacing the 2 stock ones. Sold the stock a arms on ebay for 150.

 

What kind of arms are you guys goin with? The only ones i can find are the armadillo and epic.

 

Armadillo is what I got. Bombsaint uses them as well. I haven't ridden my DS yet with them on to give you a full report. You can also adjust the to make the DS handle better and replacing the Ball Joints is MUCH cheaper on these than the stockers. Mine also had zerk fittings as well.

 

if they arent broken you can do what i v been doing since i got my bike. when they loosen up and my steering gets sloppy i take an old socket that fits over the zerk and just inside of the letters (moog bla...bla...bla we make 1/2 ton truck ball joints for 25$$ but atv ones for 100$$$bla bla)and whack it with a hammer untill they are firm again it saves 100$ a pop and i abuse my bike pretty good havent had a problem yet . this is whats wrong with them any way if you get a chance to take one apart youll see i dont talk out of my a....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]
