Do all aftermarket companys use helm joints on their A-arms for the banshee??? Im not a huge fan of Helm joints.

I have a set of Quicksand arms on my Banshee. The arms themselves are great and Gary gives great customer service...but I don't like the heim joints either.

 

I've ridden quite a bit in the year since I got them and there is noticeable slop where the ball in the heim joint has worn. Also the bolt through the heim joint rusts pretty badly if it's wet where you ride (Oregon). Yes I know...WD40 or chain lube or something, but it's a pain to remember after every ride. I'd definitely prefer ball joints.

 

With that being said, however, I know Gary is trying some new heim joints with stainless bolts that he says are better.

 

Without knowing more about those, if I had to do it again, I'd look at the Roll Design a-arms.

Lonestar, Laeger,Alba's procomp arms, rickystator's, those companies use the better ball joints with the proper taper on 'em(no reaming of the spindles) I know there are probably others, Gary at Quicksand can make your arms with ball joints(from all balls) as well.
