Title: A-Arm Identification
Post by: The norm on August 25, 2024, 08:09:27 PM
Trying to help a friend ID some A-Arms. Any help is greatly appreciated!! I’m waiting for better pics so hopefully this one will work. He’s trying to find new heim joints and the taper stud that goes in the spindle.

If the thread of the Heim joint with the Stud is 3/4-16 then they are American Star.

Thanks fella’s. I’m still waiting on better pics, but I think you guys hit the nail on the head. Those are the exact heim! I forwarded that eBay link off to my cousin so he can get them ordered. Thanks again!!!

Whats up with the shock mounts? Seems like there'd be a lot of strain those.

I noticed the lower shock mount also.  For sure I would think it would need gusseted.  Then again it might be a “recreational” arm.

These are not a brand I would ever buy. They came on a R my cousin bought and he’s trying to get it in rideable condition for a day trip or two before a complete tear down this winter. I believe these arms are long travel. I have not confirmed that with shock measurements, but my cousin says the shocks are longer than oem shocks.
