This has All the listings with Thread sizes, tapers etc,etc

So for all those looking for Ball Joints for their Aftermarket A-Arms...look no further!

Eg:Look up ES3045RL ....these are common for some.

Does anyone know if ASR ball joints fit Lonestar arms? I can easily get a set of those posted to me

It will depend on the size of your A-arms. Ive found some are 14mm, 16mm some only thread in on the lower and not on the upper(like mine) and some also thread in the top A-arm. ASR appears to be selling these in American sizes. Mine were 14mm with I believe a 1.5 pitch thread (for A-arms) and 10mm taper nut size.

Wow sounds real confusing, I have no way of measuring the pitch. All I know is mine are the older style +3 long travel arms

Vroomy, shoot Jon (Spiritaces) a pm. He is now an LSR dealer. See what he can do for you.

If you have or know somebody with a tap and die kit they all come with thread pitch gages, they look like a feeler gage with saw teeth, you just match the thread up to the gage that fits, the gage will be marked with the thread pitch.

Everyone should at least have a tap and die kit in their garage if you are working on anything, even the cheap kits from harbor freight have saved me out in the dunes (leave the good kits at home)

Agreed ^^^. My harbor freight tap and die kit has been worth every penny.

I found moog ball joints for a set of lsr arms I had on one of my banshees, I just can not remember the part number at all.

05450r · « **Reply #12 on:** August 29, 2013, 11:54:41 AM »

So is there a Moog # that will fit 16mm arms?

jamieg45 · « **Reply #13 on:** August 29, 2013, 04:33:24 PM »

I do believe so Eric, I will have to call my buddy up and get the part # off of the boxes. I gave him the old ones in the boxes when he bought the lsr arms a few years back and he saves everything.
