Need Help Identifying A-arm manufacturer

[mailman]

Hey Guys,

One of the A-arms I shipped to a member was lost in shipping.  The box tore open and it is lost in USPS land somewhere.  We are trying to find it but I am not hopeful.  It is the right lower A-arm.  I am trying to figure out who made these so I can order an arm.  I included pics of both bottom arms and one upper arm to help identify the maker of these.  Thanks in advance for any help.  I pm'd Alba the pics but have not heard back yet.

Look like my ishock

If it is they stopped making them for the banshee

I shock or Hydrodynamic. I think are same company. My buddy has a set look just like those. Same ball joints.

Yup. Same company. If you have a lower right arm I'll buy it. Or all 3 as long as the lower right isn't the one missing.

I have that exact set and the invoice came from alba. Bought them second hand and we're never installed.

 

I was almost ready to pull the trigger on this set before you sold them.

If I'm not mistaken, they are listed as the Pro Comp editions. I have the part number for the arms in my old phone. Let me charge it and I will PM you the part numbers to include the ball joint numbers.

That would be awesome.  Thanks Pastrykiller.

Alba just replied to my pics and said they are not Alba arms.

Pretty sure they are not Alba arms.  I could be wrong though we have been making banshee arms for about 20 years so we have had many different designs.  What is throwing me off is the lower arm where the shock mounts.   I don't remember ever only having gussets that go foward.  Any idea how old these are?

[Pastrykiller]

My arms look exactly like that with the same gussets and ball joints.

They are several years old. In 2010, NYUK sold a set here that had the gussets on the front and back. When I got mine in 2013, I called your shop and spoke to someone about these arms and was told Yes they are ours based off the part numbers provided. They even told me to follow a link on the alba website to ensure that the install goes smoothly.

If you say so.  The ones I remember we made had gussets front and back not just the front.  We had some that also had alba stamped into the gussets.  Almost every aftermarket a-arm mfg use the same balljoints.

My ishock

Hmmm. Now that I posted mine, they may not be the same

Well...................Here is the scoop guys.  Pastrykiller was correct.  These are some old A arms from Alba.   They are about 8 years old.  The Alba part number is AL210-113.  They were called Alba Pro Elite Arms and sold for $600 for the set.  I called Alba and they said they "Don't make or sell those any more from that manufacturer".    I asked if I could contact the manufacturer and he said they are "Overseas".  I asked again for the contact information and he said "They don't release that information".  He agreed that the set of A arms is useless since I can't get a replacement arm for them.  What do you guys think about this? 

 

Here are the pics of the same arms with a receipt from Alba showing the part number from Pastrykiller.
