does anyone know if atv 4 play ever made max ground clearance arms for the dale. I have a set of what looks like their arms on my bike judging by the shape and ball joint design. heres why I am asking, I let a supposed friend borrow the bike since I had not ridden it in a year. he thought a wheel bearing was going out but kept riding it. so when I finally got it back from him I changed out thee bearings. It was then I found out that the lower ball joint was loose. now I know it used to be fairly common to use 400ex arm on dales. I also ask cause I have a dale spindle(now thanks to that friend needs replaced). the spindle is no big deal I can pick on of them up for a couple buck. now the ball joint I can still get for a 400ex but ive been trying to contact atv 4 play to no avail. and they seem to be the only ones using that type of ball joint. Another question I think I know the answer but 400ex lower ball joints wont fit a dale spindle correct. thanks in advance for any help you can give

No, a honda ball joint wont fit, it will have some slop in the dale spindle. I think KFX might be the same as ours. If nothing else Boomer makes a sleeve to adapt a honda ball joint taper to a dale spindle.
