Went for a ride today and on the way home noticed some vibration in front end. Got off and wiggled the left frt wheel and could see the upper balljoint moving. Said okay need a new ball joint and limped home.
Did a search for ball joint and was surprised to discover they are not replaceable-need new arm. Is this correct?
I have a few questions please bear with me.
Do I need to replace the broken upper or should I change U &L arms? Lower looks okay.
I just ordered some 450r shocks yesterday and would I be better off with aftermarket arms? Do any AM arms have replcable joints or are they non replaceable for a reason?
Dont want to spend a ton of cash right now so Im looking at used on Ebay--Will all year ex arms fit my '03?
Thanks for the help
