Pulled a lower A-Arm ball Joint out this weekend in the MidSouth Hare Scramble.
Need some info on how to change the lower A-Arm Ball Joint. I have no experience with Ball Joints, so can I change just the Ball Joint or replace the entire lower A-Arm, Are there any stronger Ball Joints available or do I need to get the stock ones. Any help or some contact info would be greatly appreciated.

40+ and still ridin

you remove the cir-clip that holds the ball-joint in. then press the shell that is left from the joint coming apart out of the arm, reinstall the new ball-joint and replace the clip and you're in business. Doug or Maz should be able to set ya up with new ball-joints.

Thanks for the help. I'll get me another ball joint ordered.
Checked it last night and the ball joint just pulled out, there was no damage anywhere to be seen, must have been worn and the wheel got caught in a funny position. Does anyone know if there are any upgrades over the stock ball joint???
