2001Stroker Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Are you talking about the ball joints? They're pressed in, and you can't buy new ones. You have to buy either new a-arms, aftermarket a-arms with removable ball joints, or modify the stock a-arms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 there's no aftermarket arms that uses heims on the spindles? i'm building arms, but i don't know what size adapter the s;pindles use before i start. i just want to have them built, or at least have all the parts before i rip it apart.

shanYE west Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 adapter for the spindles??? you mean a reamer? some after market arms require you to ream the spindles.. never heard of a adpater though... Maybe I'm just misunderstanding somthing here.... Some company's use heims on their arms.. some use ball joints.. depends on the company.

AKheathen Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 damn, in automotive, i've used adapters that are tapered on one end, and strait on the other, so you can bolt them where the ball joint coes into the spindle, and slide the heim over the other end. lemmie see if i can get a pic.

2001Stroker Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I see what you're saying now. Just get regular heims that look like a balljoint. Use 1/2" heims, and drill the spindles to fit them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001Stroker Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 I don't know how much exactly they cost. I bought 3/4" heims with grease fittings, for a 4-Link suspension, and they were only $12/each. I got those at a local bearing warehouse.

bbcmudtruck Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Summit racing will have them. Also look around rock crawling shops, performance shops or desert racing shops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
