  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

  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.

@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.

   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?

  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.

  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.
