YFZ a arm ball joint blow outs

[Pat the one the only]

Im rebuilding my banshee and i had free 450 a arms that i put on, i just want to know if the a arms are likely to have the ball joints blow apart from the extra stress cause that could really be bad in some of the places i ride if it makes me lose control

yeah i watched one break at little sahara pulling up to the drag racing line. idk if i would blame it on added stress, or just a junk design. just replace them with the aftermarket ones.

If your using the yfz spindles it shouldnt be a problem, but with the shee spindles I could see where this could happen.

Lowers are replacable but not uppers.

i dont really have the money for new ones so i should probobly get the yfz spindles and new bottem ball joints right? do i have to run 450 brakes with the new spindles?

[Fastassbanshee96]

No you can run either but I've heard tge 450 brakes are better.

okay, about how much is a set of yfz spindles? i really dont want to spend a fortune but i dont want it to come apart and wreck me and the quad

You should be able to pick some up from ebay pretty cheap. And as far as the brakes,the yfz450 calipers are dual piston as where a shee caliper is only single piston.

just put on a set of stock arms and save your pennies till you have th emoney for ones that fit..

 

 

unless you like the hospital and have good insurance..

The way that the a arm and spindle meet is at a really bad angle. I'm going to raise my a arm mount up an inch or two and that should get it aligned better. I'm thinking it will help that suspension setup handle better too.
