LiftdT4R Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 Hey, what's up? I was wondering if anyone could identify what brand balljoint is in the picture below. I need replacements so if anyone knows the best place to pick them up, that would be awesome. I think they are Lonestars. The bolt that goes into the a-arm is standard, NOT metric, 3/4 if I remember right(probably not). Thanks Quote
Whitey Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 looks like a stock 250R balljoint. Quote
thack Posted October 17, 2006 Report Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) i also need this info Edited October 17, 2006 by thack Quote
LiftdT4R Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Posted October 17, 2006 looks like a stock 250R balljoint. hmmmmm, definately came off a set of banshee a-arms Quote
LiftdT4R Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) maybe a ricky stator... looks similar to the pic on their site, mine has a not on either side, but that should be simple enought o solve even if does'nt come with both. Does anyone know if the ball joints will all be pretty much universal? Can I use any other manufacturer's ball joint(for a Yamaha), or is each set of a-arms pretty much unique? I would ass-u-me that the diameter of the hole where the ball joint goes into is pretty much the same from a-arm to a-arm, but I don't know. Thanks for the info, Edited October 17, 2006 by LiftdT4R Quote

Thanks for the info, you can exchange joints, only differance is the arms from ricky stator have threads so the joint threads into it and uses one nut to lock it in place and most others the joint slides in and has 2 nuts one on each side to lock it in place..

LiftdT4R Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Posted October 18, 2006 Hmmm, so the only difference for Yamaha ball joints is going to be the diameter of the stud(the threaded part), either 14mm or 16mm? If so, I have to double check on my shit, I could have sworn that the nut on there was 7/8", but I could be mistaken. Thanks for the info! Quote
djackbanshee Posted October 18, 2006 Report Posted October 18, 2006 Unless you ran some car tie-rod ends or someting like that ! Quote
LiftdT4R Posted October 18, 2006 Author Report Posted October 18, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the info DJack, it is definately 14mm, and it is definately the Yamaha style. Anyone know who has the best price on these guys, so far I've seen about $30 or so, which is fine, but if I can pick them up for even less, that would be awesome, I'm soo over budget on my 01 build it's not even funny, so every little bit helps. Thanks again! Edited October 18, 2006 by LiftdT4R Quote
ClimbAnyHill Posted October 22, 2006 Report Posted October 22, 2006 Do a Ball Joint search on http://www.mcmaster.com/ I found all I need for Heim joints on there. Quote
