As far as I know all of the aftermarket a arms have screw in ball joints. They are bettter that way so you can replace them without having to replace the whole a arm. You just screw the lower ones all the way in and use the uppers to adjust the camber. Hope this helps.

It just seams that the potential for a snaped balljoint is greater when they are screw in type. I would hate for son to be sailing a double and land and ball joint stud snaps...could be ugly. I wonder if they can take the abuse of hard MX track riding.

I haven't heard of any aftermarket a-arms that don't have screw in ball joints. As far as holding up on the track just go to a race and look at all the lower a-arms they have screw in ones. So they can take the abuse but im not gonna say they don't break becasue they do. Its not that often though. Out of 2 years with my a-arms i've only broken one ball joint.
