+2 A-arms for 87 warrior

[1987 Warrior]

Hi all i am looking for a new set of a arms for my 87 warrior because my current ones ball joints are shot, and before u say just replace them because u can, one is welded in so not going to get it out any time soon. :argh:
so is there any aftermarket +2 a arms for a 87 that aren't to expensive out there?? dont have a lot of cash right now to spend.

Thanks

There are no aftermarket a arms for the first gen warriors. However, building your own set is an option, there's a few people that have done that.

For the 87 your best way to go would be grind down the welds and install new balljoints or find new arms and install new balljoints. Otherwise you'll have to have a custom set of +2 arms made. Ive heard of 400ex lowers fitting but i havent been able to confirm that myself.

Well that sucks guess ill have to find some used ones=(

The uppers are interchangeable from all years, just the lowers arent

The uppers are different.

ok so are the uppers are interchangeable yes?

No you can only use arms from 87-88 model years

2nd gen uppers are the same dimensions as 1st gen, only main difference is 87 have removeable balljoints as the 2nd gens balljoint is built into the arm. Why is it now everyone is saying they are different?

Because the upper mount tubes are in fact different width.

holy **** why cant you just accept that second gen uppers wont fit a first gen?!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!!?!?!?!?????????????!???????!??????????????!????!??!?!

because he probably forced them to fit his 87 by spreading open the mount tabs on the frame thus weakening them

Im running the 87 arms. I took the 99's off the 99 and put them all over the 87 uppers and measured both. Both have same measurements. I could find threads with alot of you saying that 2nd gen uppers fit 1st gens, but its not that big of a deal to me.
