I just put a set of TBR Products _3+1 arms on and I love them. Timmyboy redesigned his arms when he went to work for them and the new design is far better than his old ones, and I know they have them in stock. They use leager upper ball joints and heat treated lower spherical heims, similar to Roll. I believe theyy run under $700. PM me if your intrested, I'll give you their number.

i talked to john houser and he got back to me immediatly this was his response from a PM

Our tie rod end type of ball joints are are a purchased item & hold very well. If you hit a tree, something is going to give. If nothing gives under crash conditions, your frame will bend. These ball joints have limited travel & work quite well unless you put a shock on them that allows for them to be over traveled, in which case they will break. The top ball joint has more travel rotation than the lower. This situation appears to be ball jolint problem, but is set problem.

Our Long Travel A-Arm Ball joints have had alot of success. They Are very rugged. We have had very few failures. We had one batch of ball joints that I had the wrong specs on & they got "loose" after a bunch of races. we replaced all of these for free. With good shocks that are made for our A-Arms, they will last a real long time. The Four Stroke Tech Team, Chad Duvall, Chad Wallace, Brad Macri, all won last year on the GNCC circuit with this set up. It does get any harsher than these guys.
