Does anyone know who sells a aftermarket upper ball joint better then Yamaha's factory garbage. I have 2000 miles and both are shot. Call local dealer they what $152 a pop. WOW I think it maybe made of gold or something. Let me know what you guys are doing for a fix.

If ur ball joints are shot, ur bushings will definately be shot. Check your spindles as well, ski hole mounts may be ovaled if bushings are shot. Stock is NFG, no way the front end should need replacing after so little miles. Installed a zbroz on mine because all teh parts I needed was more than the zbroz kit and if the bushings etc.. wear out in that little time Im sure they will replace with no charge. Can. Warr. told me to pound sand.

You can find factory Yamaha ones online for $60.00 each, and they ship to US and CA. Just do a search for Yamaha OEM parts, and get the lower balljoint kit from Arteeex they are great.

I just had lower ball joints and all bushings replaced on my YES warranty. Uppers were still in spec so they told me to bring it in just before my warranty expires and they would replace them.
