No, our rules here only allow the use of any bushings or bearings. Not sure that you need to replace the arm any way. The stock arms break only when the ball joint is stressed byond it's range of motion. I've read reports of aftermarket arms breaking in other areas.

Daigo, what series are you building for... you say PNW, and that makes me very intrigued.

My NA is not really competitive in any local series.... hmmmm.

The cage is beautifully done, how are other things coming along? Do you thnk you'll have it done and sorted out by the end of the Summer? I think we all want to see it in action, especially with those kick-*** Motons of yours!
