Ball joints

[woodsracer22]

Has anyone found a stronger ball joint for a 07 MXR? We broke one and bent one today in a XC race. Darn trees. Cost us a win.

Are they the same thread as the first edition apex?

If so, take a look at the ES219R.

" look at the ES219R."

where can I find info on it ? is this a stock part # or ?
who sells it ?

[WOLFPACK]

Sorry....ES419R! I wouldn't purchase it until you know it will work for you. They are usually german built because they are for a 60&70's VW. Tie rod end.

thanx a bunch !..so an auto parts retailer would be 1 place to check on these correct ?

[WOLFPACK]

Yes. Take one of your old ones with you to compare before buying.

If the ES419R is the correct number it is made by TRW. The NAPA part number is 269-2059.

Checked our race bike yesterday and we are definately running the ES419R.

You can find them on EBAY for 10 to 15 dollars.
