rzcolobanshee Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Broke one of the heim joints on our last ride and now I can't get ahold of Gary to get a new one, anyone know where he gets them from or a better way to contact him? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireHead Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 I generally suggest MSC Industrial Supply or if you want something special, Aurora Bearing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimbAnyHill Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Just curious how you broke it? I run the same a arms & run thru whooops on 5th, no prob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzcolobanshee Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Gary finally got back in the shop so I've got one on the way. As for how it was destroyed....let's just say speed and trees don't mix. Bent the part that threads into the aarm and broke the bolt that attaches the heim to the knuckle. The aarms themselves held up great though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClimbAnyHill Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Right on!! What did it cost you for that heim if you don't mind me asking? I want to order an extra set. I have the MX version Quicksands & run em thru some nasty stuff & pc is still in tact. Chrome uppers still look brand new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rzcolobanshee Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 The heim by itself was $25 for one, with all the nuts and bolt it was $33. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimbAnyHill Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 The heim by itself was $25 for one, with all the nuts and bolt it was $33. Not bad of a price at all! Shane: Look around, I've seen these A Arms used a couple times. I bought my set used $380 & Minkia had a set not long ago for the same price or so.

Pump that grease gun into the zerks where the a arms bolt on & good to go! That 1200 setup does sound convincing though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
