A arm questions
A arm questions
Could someone please tell me about some after market A arms that are affordable.I am looking at stock width I race mainly XC and have standard travel shocks.If you could insert a link to any site I would appreciate it as well as pricing
he wants to change arms cause our balljoints stinky stinky.
I've heard that Ugly A-arms are the new name for Action A-arms and the change was made because the reputation for Action was getting too bad to sustain business, and possibly lawsuits or something. I wouldn't touch them with a telephone poll.
Eyeball engineering made or still makes a +1 arm which could be stock width with 4/1 wheels. Houser will make them too I'm sure, just more money. Worth the difference though. Haydug can sell you Houser for a good price.
Another +2 arm are the American Stars. I've heard they have held up well for those who have them and they are affordable. Jaybr might even still have his set, give him a holler.

I've got Eyeball +2's that I use for dual purpose. Change front rims and shock settings over to change between MX and XC. They work great and I only paid $250 for them used off Ebay w/everything to bolt on. I personally like a +1 width better than stock in the woods which is when I use 4:1 offset rims.
www.eyeballeng.com I believe but I'm not sure if they list everything they will make you for the 'Dale. Best to call I think.
I have only seen 2 sets of eyeball arms, one of which was broken. :hammer:
I wasn't impressed with the quality of welds on the arms, and getting them to fit on a 400 was kind of a pain. I'm sure they would be alright for XC, but I would be afraid of them for MX.
They also seemed to use a standard ball joint on the long travel set I helped install, without the shock installed, the arms would bind very bad at full droop, and did have considerable amount of bump steer. I tried adjusting it out, but couldn't get it exactly right.
I agree with some other people on this about the "ugly" arms, wouldn't touch it with a 10' pole. Makes you wonder when a company changes names and basically produces the exact same product. :confused:
