decentZ89 · 01-31-2012, 07:22 PM

so a few days ago i go on ebay and do my daily "ltz400" search and skim through the parts and come across alba +2 +1 a arms brand new but with surface rust..no ball joints no tie rods for 44. and 20 shipping but youhave to bid...

i put them in my watch list and the bid was ending last night..

last night 5 min prior to ending i bid 46. "youve been outbid" no suprise there..i play the bid game by increments of $2 until i am the high bidder 1 minute before ending at $78

im thinking wow 100 bucks for brand new extended a arms today is my lucky day..
i hit f5 to refresh the page and boom i was outbid. i got into an intense bid war and lost at the last second by $.86 wtf

needless to say i threw a few things said a few words and lost my temper..

well i go onto ebay tonight and what do i see "msg from seller" you have a second chance

what? is this real lol.. long story short he had two sets so i got to buy the second set for $85 plus 20 shipping WOOOOOOOOOO

so happy sorry for the long story i was excited haha

Budget Z · 01-31-2012, 08:07 PM

Haha, it was on my watch list too, I thought 85 was a little high w out ball joints and rust, had no bushings either.

TuckerHardRide · 01-31-2012, 08:32 PM

well they were getting powder coated regardless of what condition..and now at least i know they will have brand new bushings and balljoints. i saw a set of +2s on there going for 300 with bad ball joints so its still a good deal..

im gonna piece together tie rods and bushings hopefully it wont be too pricey

edit: do i have to run longer tie rods? or will stocks work?

decentZ89 · 01-31-2012, 09:39 PM

hmm it may be a while before these are installed..lol didnt realize how expensive bushings/tie rods and ball joints were

Hughesc99 · 01-31-2012, 09:48 PM

Haha good you got them. Yes f-ing ball joints are expensive! I need to replace mine really, but think I'm going to go with a Heim joint style.

jake47 · 01-31-2012, 10:18 PM

I bought all new balljoints for 80. I also used ltr450 tie rods with my +2s

Hughesc99 · 01-31-2012, 10:29 PM

Where'd you get the ball joints at? I think they wanted to charge me like 35 a piece. Also if anyone knows( sorry to thread jack), I was told by the kawi dealer only the 03s were different as far as the bore in the spindle and 04 and up was the same. I though this was different (03/04 were the same). I put 03 a arms and spindles on an 06. I guess morale of the story is ... Who's right?

jasmf24 · 01-31-2012, 10:36 PM

zookie400 · 01-31-2012, 10:46 PM
