Charlie Arms are super strong and a work of art. $1600 doesn't cost that much when you consider the alternative.

Don't think it's an item you should look to cheap out on all the same.

Didn't think Charlie's were readily available Larry?

I don't know if they still are or not. We bought ours 5 years ago after breaking 2 ball joints in 2 consecutive track events. We got very lucky both times, and I swore that there would never be a 3rd, hence the Charlie Arms.

I have Charlie Arms as well and they are beautifully made and look very stout and have held up perfectly after 4 years of racing. They are the price of 1.5 sets of tires.

Depends on what tyres hey Mike, but agreed that they are the real deal. Pity he doesn't want to make them anymore.

Fabcar arms, Elephant Racing sphericals. No issuess but I still check the ball joints and inspect the bearings regularly.
