Evening everyone..
Anyone run the flipped spindles with standard ball joints?
Anyone use any different methods of a fail safe securing method for them?

Thanks

You cant run regular ball joints, the whole design is based around them being specific.
There was some concern initially about the design being safe, but I have never heard of a single failure in ten(?) years of them being around.
 
Thanks for the reply,
I take it your talking about the machined arms that take some some of retainer with the ball joint? Other than that the ball joint themselves are the same no?

Who sells them, as i think transporterhaus is no more?

The balljolints have been modified to work with the flipped arms, the joints are not replaceable you'll never get them out, the only real option is to buy new arms with ball joints installed for the flipped spindles. All transpoterhaus orders noiw go through Cool Air so suggest contacting them.
