Overboost Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 (edited) the jump in my avatar was done on a J arm frame bike. the only reason they went to J arms is because the other bikes on the market were currently A arm. so not being one to be left behind when everyone else was "moving forwards" they changed it to an A arm setup. ball joints can come out of an A or J bike, since there is no way to grease the stockers unless you modify them. the frame mounts get sloppy on a J arm faster because you only have the 1 mounting point to the frame and an A arm has 2, I just replaced my bushings and my J arm setup is like new, no slop anymore. about the only down side is you can lie about the year of your A arm bike unless you run the VIN, on a J arm, you know it is older than a 91 Edited April 4, 2009 by Overboost Quote

deckheight Posted April 4, 2009 Report Posted April 4, 2009 I've been riding a J arm bike for the last year or so... Couple things I have noticed: Upper bushings wear faster, much faster. Frame mounts for the upper pivot bolts tend to egg out (had to bush mine recently). And the J arms tend to bend easier in a crash than an A arm. Plus used J arms that are straight seem to be getting scarce. Anyway, I wouldnt pass a deal just because it was a J arm, but it would defenitely be a factor in my decision. alright so whats up with the differences in these frames? should i not buy a J-arm framed banshee or what? i need some opinions. thanks guys Quote
