Dunefreak Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 I was told they were +2+1 but I need a brand name please so I can order a new ball joint. Quote

#1JUANstunna Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 Not Full flights, they use heims at the frame too. Quote
Dunefreak Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Posted February 7, 2012 Full Flights? Don't they use heim joints at the frame ? The ones I have use a oem style bushing. Quote
So Cal Banshee Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 Those are economy grade heim joints. Just get some 3pc teflon chrome moly ones. Should be 3/4"shaft with 3/4"hole (measure just to be safe). Get those anywhere - summit racing, ebay, search internet.. FK or Aurora are top quality, probably round $30 ea for good ones that will last many years. Ones like you have are 7-10 ea. Quote
So Cal Banshee Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 Had some just like that on a set of ASR arms, rattled from day one. Got the 3pc that lasted many years in all types of terrain - mud, sand, dirt. Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 I've been using and selling FK Rod Ends for YEARS. Absolute best in the business. The part number you need should be a JMX12T... It's a 3/4"x3/4-16" (But double check your measurements). The "T" is important. "T" stands for "Teflon". The regular JMX12's are metal on metal. Still HEAPS better than the crap ones on there, but the teflon ones will last forever, and they're only like 10 bucks a piece more. The teflon heims will outlast your bike. Don't put those shit metal-on-metal heims back on there. You'll only be replacing them in a year if you do. ORW sells them on ebay for $34.99ea. Just search for JMX12T. Also, notice that FK sells a JMXL12T, and a JMX12T. The "L" stands for "left hand threads". Odds are both of your heims are right hand thread, but just pull them off and verify that for sure. If the left side heim threads into the right side arm in the standard clockwise direction, they are the regular ones. JMX12T. Typically, the L's are used on tie rod, or radius arm applications. Quote
answ3r Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 If the thread in your A-Arm is M16, then get a regular ball joint, not an heim. 20$ from ricky stator. Quote
