SAVAGE420 Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Heim joints don't for the most part use covers much if ever. I prefer ball joints myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

06specialedition Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 Full flights are a good set of a-arms. I prefer wickeds or some stellars, but the ff's arent bad at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Cal Suspension Posted December 9, 2010 Report Share Posted December 9, 2010 The heims that come with the FF arms, are the cheapo heims. They are metal on metal, and do tend to squeak after some time. When they get worn out, replace them with Chromoly FK brand TEFLON, or PTFE heims. They will outlast your banshee, and make no noise.

WickedWisco Posted December 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 wont the joints get all stuck up with mud and shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
So Cal Suspension Posted December 11, 2010 Report Share Posted December 11, 2010 wont the joints get all stuck up with mud and shit? Every race vehicle I've built for the last 8 years, wouldn't even consider using ball joints. The Teflon heims are lined inside with a fiberglass-like fabric, coated in teflon. The PTFE ones are an injection molded liner. The clearances are so tight on either that if you managed to destroy one of them on a banshee, you would be the first one I've ever heard of. We use them on every long travel sand car we build, and every race vehicle. There's a reason these $1m+ cars run heims. Just remember they need to be the FK brand TEFLON, or PTFE... the Teflon ones are the cream of the crop, PTFE is a close second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midlifecrisis Posted December 19, 2010 Report Share Posted December 19, 2010 I have heims on mine, not sure if theyre shit or not, but I have no squeaks yet. I do use jigaloo extreme graphite, every ride or two, on the advice of my buddy, who has a fully stock 250r. Listen to Matt though, he deals with this type of thing every day.
