85 LT A-arm balljoints

[charl]

I'm in the prosses of rebuilding a 85' LT and need a-arm balljoints , where can I buy these ??

[sblt500r]

a dealer, or any number of online oem parts houses will have them. no one sells aftermarket ball joints for the suzuki's.

Have you got a web site of one of these oem parts houses , I ive in South Africa so I will need to import the parts I need

[sblt500r]

Thanks for all the info !!! It's the only LT I know off and the Suzuki dealer here. Well I live in the bushveld and riding giraffe sounds easier then it is , they've got no ass to sit on that's why I rather stick to the LT and my Polaris.

Does anyone lnow if an automotive ball joint will work? I thought that I had read something on a 250R forum that an automotive ball joint will fit the Honda 250R. If anyone knows please let us know. If I find out I will let you know. The reason for using automotive joint was because they were much less expensive. If I get some time I will try to find out by bringing one by an auto parts store to match it up.

One of my friends work at the local Spares Link and matched the upper bailjoint to that of a old Isuzu KB series and the good news it only cost R40 and that is about $6 each. WHAT A BARGAIN !!!!!! Now for the lower balljoints.

Thanks- that is great news. If he can match the joints and a ref number I would greatly appreciate the help from the both of you. The savings is huge as was it with the Honda. You can replace all four for the cost of 1 OEM from Suzuki
