I read a post a few years back about making the stock a arms have replacable ball joints. It seems like an easy process, and I have 2 quads that need new ball joints so I am going to do the arms on both of them to save a little $$.
What are the part #'s for the tie rod ends that I need to buy so I can do this mod???

Come on surely some of you from the old rriders.com web site remember this. I have 3 400EX and 2 R in my group that need this mod done before the trip the last weekend of this month. 1 R and 1 EX are mine.


PLEASE HELP.

here are some pics of the mod you are inquiring about. the ball joints that are used in this mod are for a old mazda or ford courier tie rod ends which are 16mm in dia. tie ends from a geo tracker or 68-69 vw can be used aswell but, i believe are 14mm dia.
