Jgspahn Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 So these a-arms and tie rods were on the bike since I bought it years ago. I'm doing a complete rebuild and powder coating frame, arms, swing arm etc. My problem is that I have no idea what kind of arms and rods I have, and I need to replace the ball joints and rod end.. Please help!! Sorry for the amount of pics and stupid angles.. I really didn't know what yall needed to see Quote
Jgspahn Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Posted March 6, 2013 Somebody has to be able to help me here. I just got frame back from PC and want to send these next but I don't know where/how to find the tie rod ends and ball joints. Quote
dave5.0 Posted March 6, 2013 Report Posted March 6, 2013 Tie rod ends look stock. Not sure about the ballpoints. Take em to napa and see if they can them up with some car tie rods/ball joints. I remember somebody posting a while back about a Subaru brat ballpoint. #ES2074R Quote
Jgspahn Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Posted March 6, 2013 The arms are wider than stock, would that mean that the tie rods would be longer than stock? Quote
Jgspahn Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Posted March 6, 2013 The rods are longer, the ends are the same. And they also look like old school laeger arms. So stock tie rod ends will Work. Can I still buy laeger ball joints? Quote
nastyracing Posted March 7, 2013 Report Posted March 7, 2013 Not old school laegers. All though laeger does use that same ball joint for there upper ARM on older ones. Gary denton a arms almost 100% sure. Quote
Jgspahn Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Posted March 7, 2013 Well my preliminary goggle searching is showing that these are super old. So what's my best bet in getting new ball joints and ends? I can't much about Denton racing at this point. Quote
Whitbread Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 Pull one of the ball joints and measure the threads on the a arm end. If the threads are M16x1.5, it's probably a Moog ES2074R. I'll measure the taper dimensions of my spare when I'm at my shop tomorrow and post up. Quote
trickedcarbine Posted March 11, 2013 Report Posted March 11, 2013 My vote is armadillo. They look pretty similar to mine Quote
Jgspahn Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Posted March 12, 2013 Ummmm is your spindle cracked right below the ball joint? I'm not sure, I'll check when I'm at the shop tonight. Quote

Jgspahn Posted March 13, 2013 Author Report Posted March 13, 2013 I think that's just the flash. I didn't get a chance to look at it tonight, but if it was cracked that bad I woulda noticed. Quote
Jgspahn Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Posted March 15, 2013 Took these from a straight on angle today.. Is it misting simmering? Quote
Jgspahn Posted March 15, 2013 Author Report Posted March 15, 2013 Frickin auto correct.. Missing something Quote
icytea132 Posted March 21, 2013 Report Posted March 21, 2013 I looked up that part number "Moog ES2074R" they seem to be the ones I have one my Denton a-arms, but the only problem you may have is that the tapers are larger. so unless your spindles have been reamed out, these are probably what your looking for, if not, you may have a different brand. LSR, I believe has common parts as other carriers. so maybe look with them. Quote
