Control Arm Ball Joints?

[MINIGfather]

I have an 03 blasty. One of the control arm ball joint studs is real messed up on the end where the cotter pin goes in. The nut wont go back on. Are the ball joints replaceable at all? Thanks in advance to who ever answers this.

Nope... Not on the stock arms. Yamaha wants more money outta your pocket and ball joints are a high wear item so they make you buy all new arms. They're built into the arms.

i would try and find a used one for cheap. if you cant, you should buy aftermarket ones because one stock one from yamaha will cost as much as a whole set of used ones.

Aftermarket companies make stock replacements.. I dont know who would spend the money on stock replacements but they're out there and they actually have replaceable ball joints.
