One has the heim ball joints, other has automotive style ball joints. Thats the only differences i can see. Same price. Which is better? Are they any other differences? Can i just bolt these up and ride?

I'm not a huge fan of American Star's ball joints, or heim joints. I do, however, prefer heims over ball joints any day of the week. See if you can purchase the arms without heims, and buy yourself 4 FK brand JMX12T heims. They are 3/4x3/4. Best heims money can buy.

 

I have a set of American Star's heims right now on my long travel chassis, but I will be replacing them with the FK ones. I am not impressed with their quality. They are obviously chinese.

I heard the heims were hard to adjust?

 

I tried to message u on here matt. How much would it cost to get a set of works with res. Rebuilt? And set up for me?

Heims are super easy to adjust, if you are referring to adjusting camber. They screw in and out just like a ball joint would. They're also WAYYYYY stronger than ball joints.

 

Send me a PM, and I will get you a quote.
