icytea132 Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Hello, I've recently bought a set of Gary Denton a-arms (I believe) when I recieved them I took apart my old setup and realized the ball joints from stock are smaller than the joints on the dentons.. Was I supposed to have aftermarket spindles? Or can i possible purchase a different set of ball joints? maybe another brand Is universal? if anyone can send me there thread specs on there aftermarket a-arm ball joints i can compare also a place of purchase? Thanks guys Quote
Finch Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 ream out your oem spindles i had to do with with my lsrs and the arms i have now Quote
icytea132 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Posted March 4, 2013 What size reamer did you use? Just to get me in the ball park Quote
sprinklerman Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 What size reamer did you use? Just to get me in the ball park Its definitely not one of those things that you want to just get "in the ballpark". There is a writeup on here that shows the PROPER size reamer. Quote

There is a writeup on here that shows the PROPER size reamer. yes "dough bag" I understand this, but I don't know what the taper is so "in the ball park" gives me a clue of where the taper lies before I start. So suckkkkkkitttttttttt Quote
icytea132 Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Posted March 4, 2013 Haha... "Douche bag" man auto correct takes its toll sometimes Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 LOL ^^^ http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?search=true&item_ID=634513&PartNo=R121&group_id=675219&supersede=&store=snapon-store&tool=all That's what you need. You can find the same one at harbor freight, napa and places like that for cheaper, but you get what you pay for. Use lube and go slow by Hand and DONT use a drill!!! <<<lol. -for real don't use a drill. Don't go to far. But just enough so the threads stick out and the joint snugs down tight. Quote
sprinklerman Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 Sprinklerman your such a dough bag Hey!!! How'd he know i need to loose 20lbs?? BTW: I think the thread was by "the358bansh" or something like that...but im not going to do the search for you. Is that in "in the ballpark " enough? Quote
Finch Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 I used a drill and just a drill bit. Good times! Quote
icytea132 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Posted March 13, 2013 negative. just finshed up blasting my frame got a few other things to do yet.. i was actually looking to see if i could get set with the stock taper. but if worst comes to worst ill ream them ou, anyone know i there is a stock size with 3/4 16tpi ?

icytea132 Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Posted March 13, 2013 i found a set thats like 125 ucks, but if i get them, i think im better off just buying brand new a-arms Quote
