HeavyHauler Posted November 29 Report Posted November 29 Anyone here have the Alba Racing LT A-arms currently on their Banshee? What’s your likes and dislikes about them. I was out today doing some wheelies on my gravel parking lot and when I landed it bent my left upper a-arm right by the upper ball joint. I really don’t want to dump a ton of money into it because work has been really busy and haven’t had much time to ride her. So what’s your opinion. Thanks, Jake Quote
gusto Posted November 30 Report Posted November 30 Site owner runs them. He will have your answer Quote
HeavyHauler Posted December 7 Author Report Posted December 7 I went with Fireball Racing LT A-arms and Elka’s stage 3 front shocks and a standard travel stage 3 rear shock. According to Fireball Racing I should have the a-arms by Dec 19th or 20th and should have the shocks by the end of January according to Elka. Now I have to shop around for an axle. Quote
JerzOutlaw350 Posted December 9 Report Posted December 9 @HeavyHauler You made an excellent decision on going with Fireball Racing. I got the same exact set up as what you posted. I’ve owned my Fireball Racing LT A-arms since 2020. Till this day I’m still happier than a fat kid who loves cake with this suspension setup. 1 Quote
specialblend07 Posted December 9 Report Posted December 9 Alba might be good, but they look cheap. Fireball is all around nice 1 Quote
locogato11283 Posted December 9 Report Posted December 9 I run them. Zero issues. I launched it off some decent size dunes. No problems. I run Fox Float Evols with them. 17.25" with the 3.5" rezzies. Quote
HeavyHauler Posted Monday at 05:02 PM Author Report Posted Monday at 05:02 PM Well yesterday I was preparing my Banshee for the new Fireball Racing LT A-arm that are coming this week and I came across a problem. Both (right and left) upper A-arm bolts were seized inside of the bearing collar. I tried beating them out with no luck. So I had to carefully cut the OEM A-arms off. Has anyone else have this problem happen before? Quote
SKEETER Posted Monday at 05:35 PM Report Posted Monday at 05:35 PM Yes. Same with lowers, and swingarm pivot bolt. Grease is cheap Quote
kawa110 Posted Monday at 11:26 PM Report Posted Monday at 11:26 PM For sure cut a few off here….Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
locogato11283 Posted Tuesday at 12:13 AM Report Posted Tuesday at 12:13 AM Been there. Buy new sleeves. Grease them. Quote
HeavyHauler Posted Tuesday at 01:17 AM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 01:17 AM I always greased the front A-arms and all suspension parts that has a zerk fitting before I went out for a ride. Today I removed the swingarm and surprisingly the swingarm came apart very easy. The pivot bolt came right out without any effort. So I cleaned everything up, inspected and re-greased everything and even applied a good amount anti-seize to the pivot bolt and the swingarm bolt collar. I’m going to rebuild the bearing carrier while I got everything taken apart. I don’t have any plans of doing any winter riding. Quote
caleb90 Posted Tuesday at 01:42 AM Report Posted Tuesday at 01:42 AM Happy with my alba lt a arms and the elka shock package i got with them Quote
JerzOutlaw350 Posted Tuesday at 06:00 AM Report Posted Tuesday at 06:00 AM I have 2 pairs of the Alba Racing LT A-arms that I’ll be installing in the next few day for 2 guys that I ride with. The Alba a-arms seem to be just as beefy as the Fireball Racing LT A-arms. The only difference is the price. Quote
kawa110 Posted Wednesday at 12:32 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 12:32 AM Anyone heard of a fireball a arm that wasn’t SLW failing? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
