Custom balljoint fix for stock a-arms

I believe the warrior uses dual taper ball joints so the Ricky Stator ball joints upper and lower would work well.

i thought about this a little more....don't grizzly ball joints have a taper? blasters do, correct?

i'm just thinking that if the uppers are tapered and those grizzly joints are also, then it oughta work in the lower a arms right?

One more time, 90-06 yamaha blaster lower ball joints are taper seat joints (the part that sticks into the spindle is cone shaped and there is a cone shaped hole in the spindle)

90-06 yamaha blaster upper ball joints are "pinch bolt' style which means they're a straight 14mm shank with a divot cut in them and then the spindle has a slit on the back of the "socket" and a bolt that passes through the divot.

Grizzly lower ball joints are a replaceable version of the blaster upper ball joint. If you have a 1988 or 1989 blaster, it uses pinch bolt style upper and lower ball joints so grizzly ball joints and a "ring mount" would work well.

Otherwise you have to have a "yamaha taper" ball joint and there are none available better than the Ricky Stator 16mm shank ball joint.
