Ball joint replacement for a arms

[Grande huevos]

I'm looking at getting a used set of burgard arms but the rubber boots are torn and I was wondering if I have to get the replacement joints from burgard or if they would work from another company ?

Lol good question. I have a set of burgard aarms that I am running and the boots are torn. I was thinking of taking a boot off and take it to a auto parts store and see if they could match them. I haven't done that yet. Would that be a option for you? I'm pretty sure Burgard finally went under

I think Sand_Blaster is right & Burgard got out of the ATV game.

I'm not sure if that's an option or not. I guess as long as they haven't been torn for long to where they have started to rust then you could get away with just replacing the rubber. But it would be nice to know either way for the future or if one ever got broken somehow.  I've read lots and lots of bad things about burgards customer service so it would come as no surprise if they went out of business! Surely somebody else makes a direct replacement

I guess I misunderstood what you were asking I'm sorry. Your looking to replace the balljoints, I thought you were asking about the boots. I wonder that to, I have a set of +3's with no ball joints at all.
Did a quick Search and apparently people were upgrading to automotive tie rod joints , for the burgard a arms as replacements.

You wouldn't happen to have a part number would you? Or know about how much it would cost to replace all 4?

ES2096R are the ones I used for my Burgards that were M14mm x 1.5 Pitch thread.

They're $27ea and they came with a grease fitting

Okay so if your ball joints are 16mm people tried Ricky stator ball joints that worked.

And if they are 14mm people had luck with these Mazda ones

Older burgards were 14 then 16mm for newer ones.

I'm just coping/pasting this from another person.

the Moog Part No. ES2074R(ford courier, mazda B2000) and Part No. DW-ES3045RL(geo tracker) and DW-ES419R(vw beetle) will work with the 16mm right handed thread a-arms.
