sprinklerman Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 Where do these swingarms break?The 2 I saw broke where the carrier housing and tubes meet.I think one also had cracks starting around the pivot tube too. Quote
Sandking Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 Does JL deal with round tubing his cite just shows square. Fireball is what I have now they are stout. Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 JL eng, stellar, Metal tech fab, LSR, avenger. The avenger and metal tech are fuckin nice. Broke me chromoly Metal Tech too. ...but it was a dune arm and I was riding aggressive dirt riding at the Badlands in Indiana. 1 Quote
WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 Where do these swingarms break? The pipe that the shock/link mounts to twists loose like a twist throttle. The welds hold, but the metal around those welds actually rips. Also the flat plates on the stock carrier arms stress crack. Quote
locogato11283 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 I am not a fan of tab mounts on a swingarm. Most straight ladder arms for a link use tab mounts. They do end up twisting and cracking the cross tube. When I had Jordan build mine I came up with an idea to do away with tab mounts. Quote
SAVAGE420 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Posted July 27, 2014 That's killer. Next arm I ever buy will be beefed out like that. Quote

Any one looking to get in to racing/off road fabrication needs to spend a few days out west looking at the pre runner/stadium/trophy truck shops. Lotta bench marks are set there for a reason. Quote
sheerider11 Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 Isn't that how most houser a arm are set up now Quote
trickedcarbine Posted July 28, 2014 Report Posted July 28, 2014 If Jordan keeps doing those, both upper tubes could intersect at the mounting point. It would be a bit more bullet proof. Although as it sits now, it's probably not friggin going any where. Quote

trickedcarbine Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Higher end of pricing, super good stuff though. Quote
tyler73 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 Oh I thought that $435 was really cheap I been seeing them for $800 -$1200 for a +6 chrome swingarm but jl wants only $435 Quote
