American Star Upper A-Arms?
I have them and think they are great. The only draw back is, I used a pesssure washer once and wash all the grease out of the joints one time and they squeeked like he!!. I had to take them apart and hand grease them. There are no zerks or robber botties over the joints. But that was the only problem i've had.

I have their full set on my cannondale and the quality is very good. I just don't see how those joints can hold up for very long. There is no way to lube them and it seems like after time they will get sloppy. Does anyone know if you can get these fittings with a grease zerk in them?

Use a spray lubricant before u ride and after u wash your bomb. That will keep them lubed and prevent them from "squeeking like hell"[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
I've had my upper a-arms for a year now and they have withstood all the punishment i have given them.So far.

I'm thinking about picking up a set as well, $200 is a sweet price. I would have already bought them if they had a zerk on them. I'm not very partial to extra work, though I think I could deal with just spraying on some teflon or some other decent lubricant. Speaking of which, does anyone have any opinion on what kind of lubrication would be best for these things, Teflon, Silicon or whatever? I've got three different kinds of lubricants from three companies & just curious if anyone thinks one works better than another.
