The balljoints on my 04 aluminum A-arms are going out and with the price to replace each of these being in excess of $100 each I have decided to upgrade to a set of long travel A-arms with camber and caster ajustment. While lots of DS650 A-arm manufacturers have come and gone it looks like there are only a few options left if buying new. Here is what I have found

-Armadillo: Other than grab bars and bumpers have no real experience with their a-arms. (~$400)

- ASR: Uses upper/lower heim joints and has both camber and caster adjustments (~$500 on ebay). Currently my top choice...

- LoneStar: Company has been around a long time and I have heard a lot of good things about their products. Also has camber and caster adjustments but makes use of stock bottom balljoints. Can pick them up on ebay ~$500 but also need to pick up two new stock ball joints to go with them (another $250). More than I am looking to spend unless someone can tell my why they are worth the additional ~$250 over the ASRs...

Any other brands for the DS to consider?

 

I've used the ASR stock sized upper arms on 3 DS's now. They are holding up fine and like the adjustment.
