BoxHunter Posted May 7, 2019 Report Share Posted May 7, 2019 I just received my new dc-pro arms from lonestar yesterday and I’m a little confused why there are no zerks on the lower arms at the pivot. Lonestar said the banshee doesn’t get the bearings but instead uses the bushings. But shouldn’t there be a zerk fitting at the pivot point? I’m thinking of drilling and tapping for a zerk. Has anyone had these arms or any info on there’s? Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxHunter Posted May 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Not to beat a dead horse, does anyone have the stage 5 elkas as well? Any clearance issues? Unfortunately my lower a arms came with the wrong ball joint, I’m thinking a Honda joint, so I have to wait a few more days for lonestar to send the right ones. Bummer. I wish I could take low mb pics with an iPhone to show you guys but I’m a forum idiot and seem to have trouble posting pics lol. Hopefully by Friday May 10th I’ll have the right ball joints and be able to ride at Winchester Bay. Seems to me there is no room for Elka’s shock guards to fit with Lonestar’s dc-pro arms due to clearance with the front tube of the lower arm too. Bummer again. I’m stoked though that Lonestar is correcting the ball joint issue but they still stand by the no zerk fitting issue. Oh well, I’ll just be more aggressive with maintenance of the bushings.

Canadianshee Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I have a set of LT DC-pro arms, no zerks on the lower mounts, just greese bushing and pack dust caps well, good to go. Sent from my LG-H873 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawa110 Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Cant hurt drilling a hole and tapping it for fittings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearnot Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 Lonestar is moving away from grease zerks I think, their new rear bearing carriers don't have them either. I have the DC-Pro a-arms just grease everything well and you're good to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoxHunter Posted May 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Thanks for the info! I installed them but the lower ball joint is wrong, a Honda joint. They are sending new joints, hopefully here by Friday. I appreciate you guys giving me advice! Rode the Raptor today and I miss my Banshee and it’s potentially sweet suspension like a tree hugger misses stupidity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxHunter Posted May 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2019 Thanks! I was surprised at how close the powder coat was to the factory frame color. So excited to try the new suspension out! Man, I miss the Banshee lolOld suspension and hopefully the new stuff feels better! Thanks again guys! I really appreciate it!Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearnot Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Came out awesome man, it's night and day how shitty the stock banshee shocks are compared to aftermarket. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoxHunter Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Thanks Canadianshee. In my opinion, worth every cent. I’m convinced the suspension really wakes up the bike.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
