brokesoftwaretester Posted December 12, 2006 Report Share Posted December 12, 2006 My aftermarket a-arms use volkswagen tie rod ends for the ball joints. I don't remember which model/year will fit, does anyone know? And... no... I don't remember which brand a-arms they are, just an older +2 +1. Thanks!

brokesoftwaretester Posted December 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 A 1978 Volkswagen Bug Type 1, Outer, Left, Tie Rod end is a perfect match. FYI for those in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilMoore Posted January 15, 2007 Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 My aftermarket a-arms use volkswagen tie rod ends for the ball joints. I don't remember which model/year will fit, does anyone know? And... no... I don't remember which brand a-arms they are, just an older +2 +1. Thanks! I am using Car Quest part number ES419R on mine. The threaded shaft is only 9/16 inch, so if you are going to be racing, I don't recommend those types of a-arms that use the small ball joints. I already bent one, just riding and jumping - I never hit anything, it just bent from stress. It did not break, but I saw one break once. I got it on video. The video is not too swell, because there is a fence in the way, but you can get the idea: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTKInSvUQA4 I am thinking about racing MX this spring, but I am going to get new a-arms first. I just don't trust the small ball joints enough to race on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
