johnson2011 Posted May 29, 2012 Report Share Posted May 29, 2012 i think full flight arms are super cheaply made i had bought a set and had them for a year and a half . i bought them a year and a half ago and in that time i got so sick of them the joints are cheaply made a started rusting right away, out of the box they were super noisy by that i mean squeaky and annoying as hell one of the ball joints went to hell this spring and starting having play in the socket, and i broke the arms and tie rods this spring riding, as in broke i broke the welds on the arms to were they connect were the ball joint screws in, and bent the piss out of them. to be honest i would buy stock a arms over them any day from now on.

mk2dubbin Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 did anyone notice that the new Alba arms don't seem to have any grease zerk fittings? most of the arms i have seen have zerks on them like factory - unless they have heims at the frame mounts. does anyone see a problem with not having them? i was about to order these but wanted to ask before doing so.

Infamous039 Posted June 15, 2012 Report Share Posted June 15, 2012 Yes they dont have the grease fitting. What I do is grease up the bolt as well as the sleeve that goes inside the arm before installing them. Since the sleave sits on the plastics bushings there is no where for them to sieze up. did anyone notice that the new Alba arms don't seem to have any grease zerk fittings? most of the arms i have seen have zerks on them like factory - unless they have heims at the frame mounts. does anyone see a problem with not having them? i was about to order these but wanted to ask before doing so.

Glenyboy Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Can the camber be adjusted on these? I'm gonna r6 shocks for my road banshee and don't want to wear the edges out. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azryll Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Ya you can adjust the camber (top ball joint), caster, and toe. The caster uses a shim system which makes changing it very easy and fast. Its only has 3 adjustments for caster so not as adjustable as some, brands but more than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenyboy Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 Thanks I'd also looked at the ace fabrication ones, they look solid and have a 12 point adjustment and are a ball joint arm. Just waiting to here back from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
