vitovito240 Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) hello everyone, im thinking of buying some real nice aarms. there alot of money and wanted to know if they would probably get all dented, dinged, and banged up from trail rideing. i ride in massachusetts, new hampshire, vermont, NY, RI an Maine. the terrain can ge quite rough at times with lots of rocks. if they do i will probably go with a much cheaper pair. thanks Edited August 19, 2006 by vitovito240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruko Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Do you run into stuff?? My a-arms look like new still. Check your old arms... if they're beat up the new ones will probably end up looking the same. One thing though is aftermarket arms are usually tougher than the stock ones so they can take more abuse.

dajogejr Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 The more you spend on the a arm, generally the better quality joints are in them, ball or heim... They make a arm protectors, as well, that usually just clamp on. You can get them made from plastic, carbon fiber and even aluminium diamond plate....

I use skid plates & if you're real fussy use thin foam tape between the twoand don't forget...it is for dirt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
