I am in need of some help. I have found a bad ball joint on my atv. 98 big bear 350. Can you replace just the joint press out/ cut out? or do you have to replace the whole a arm. Recommendations for a good parts supplier would be appreciated.
Thanks
David

 

im pretty sure that the ball joints arent removable, there whole a-arm and ball joint is one piece which sucks, idno if a machine shop could do anything with it or not, usually you have to get new a-arms off ebay or something.

 

Hi David! Im having the same problem. Can you tell me how do fixed? Do you buy a arm or just a ball joint?
thanks

 

Yes that sucks the way they make it one piece. This place sell the A arm for $85. upper and $88 lower.

I know mine is a different machine, but I am pretty sure they offer ball joints for the timberwolf, Why would they offer em on a cheaper machine and not on a more expensive machine?

 

yes its a bit stupid!

 

Ok my friend remove from a arm and adapt by soldering one from grizzly that comes apart, not the whole arm

 

Need to cut the piece to remove
