Ball Joints in Lonestar arms question

[1998yamahawarrior]

Just trying to plan ahead so when the ball joints get bad, I have them here already. Since this is my first set of aftermarket arms, Im still learning about them. I cant tell if they are just stockers or Lonestars ball joints. Got a pic of the top:

here is what my arms have and I read that lonestar a arms use the same but they don't look like yours http://www.rickystator.com/catalog/yamaha-ball-joint-p-51.html

those sure look like 87 warrior balljoints. I just read the the lonstar blaster and banshee a arms use them. here is a pic of one on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-...ors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4158de0bbb
It said they don't come with them so maybe Iowawarrior had to buy them and knows for sure

Pretty sure the a-arms were on it before he got it, but those do look like them. Im gonna go on Lonestars website agian and see how theres look.

They look like 87 joints to me man.

Ya went on Lonestars site and there are all like elwoods, but thanks for verifying that. Im actually kind of glad they are just stocker ball joints, they are cheap. LOL

Hey by looking at the pic of 1, they just thread in right?

 

[87warrior917]

Yupp sure do. the ones in ur arms now will prob be a bitch to get out but they'll come with a lil heat and pb blaster

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

Why? just because they've been in there a while?

 

[87warrior917]

Yeah maybe. Idk mine were when i changed them in my 87. Maybe you'll get lucky and they didnt use alot of locktite haha

Since I dont need to worry about them yet, im thinking about trying to make a socket. So I can use a breaker bar, I always try making stuff easier on myself.

Yep, thats one of the reasons I like them. Thier just completely different, but glad that ball joints are just stockers.

i have the same lonestar a-arms and they do use the 87 warrior ball joints for sure.

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

Thanks for verifying for sure man. Swear nobody nows much 100% for sure about these a-arms. Other than they are COOL. LOL

With those arms and your shocks you'll deff. be one of a kind.

 

[1998yamahawarrior]

Ya no kidding, leave it up to me to get a pair of shocks that havent been made for years. My only fear with those shocks is it'll end up costing an arm and leg to get rebiult. They are all boxed up and ready to ship to Greg, I just want to have a good bit of money set back so Im ready when they are done.
