luckylogger Posted December 11, 2008 Report Posted December 11, 2008 Hi guys, New to the HQ and gotta say I love it. My question is for those of you that have purchased the Wicked a arms for the shee. I recently bought the +2's and installed last night. Everything fit great as far as the frame side goes. My concern is with the ball joints and the way they position the black rubber boots. My boots on each of the four ball joints are are not looking right. The rubber is stretched on one side and overlapped on the other side, sort of like a fat roll, if that helps. The ball joint shaft that inserts into the spindle holes goes in at an angle that causes these rubber boots to not sit evenly squished all the way around. I'm worried that the boots are going to wear out prematurely because they are rubbing on the outside of the ball joint housing. I hope this makes sense, anyone else notice this? Quote

Come on, 40 people read this and not one comment? I didn't think it was that stupid of a question. Anybody out there? Quote
shee4speed Posted December 13, 2008 Report Posted December 13, 2008 mine are tight like the way you describe. I just keep riding and just looked and no wear through at all. Hopefully they last for a long time. Quote
