Well took Monty out last night for last time this year as there are a few things I want to sort on him ready for next year Then I decided to pick harley up today in him before he got a good wash.... So driving home and hit a pot hole...... BANG and massive screech from the tyres.... got out and looked only to find



Balls comes to mind and the reason



A few more...





and back home in the garage





So after recovery I had a better look from what I can see he needs:

Wing + painting
Arms + tie bars re powdercoated
Lower Ball joint
Arch Trim
Tyre

I'm not saying its all the pot holes fault as I think the Ball joint must have been cracked to just snap like that So now I'm looking at HH lower ball joints, Has anyone used these?

Time for rebuild number 3

TBC...........

uni-ball ones i presume you mean? theyre supposed to take a bit more pain. fella i know used them on his grass tracker but said it was pointless as he was breaking them just as much.

personally, theyre on my shopping list unless i change the whole bottom arm set up.

gutted for you though dale.

Nope I never even knew about the uniball version until you or mike said about them!!

2 options at present

uniball version:

So two opitions so far

Uniball @ £150.01 + VAT



Harry Hockley @ £237.81 + VAT



The main difference I can see is that the HH ones use a thread and nut so i Guess I wouldn't be able to use these because of clearance issues as im using Larger CV's for the conversion?!?!

Any others or anyone used these?
