Does anybody know where new Heims joints can be bought at for the rear of the Fl350? I want to rebuild the rear suspension on mine and can't find them new. Thanks Billy

Are you talking about the 16mm one on the front of the trailing arm w/ male thread? Or the two 14mm ones in the upper link with female thread? All the above?

You won't find them new. Plus they're metric.

For the upper links, I used some 5/8" heims & hardware from evilBay seller "QSC8" and some threaded rod from McMasterCarr or Grainger.

Check this out...

Here ya go Billy......

These are the Heims that are on the end of the swing arm.

Motion Industries is where I think I got them from but I'm not sure.

Aurora is the manufacturer and the part number is MMF-M16.

Odyssey Salvage also sells them but I don't have a clue where Randy gets them from.

Rand

This is the only "MMF-M16" number they've got listed, but there's no image or description...

Aurora

And even a 2D print attached...

And these are on evilBay from the UK, $30 shipped to Ohio with about 1-month transit time though...

And this one from UK for about $5 cheaper, but I highly doubt transit time from the UK to Ohio, USA is 4-8 days from the SAME SELLER! lol

Thanks guys I knew that a few somebodies would know on here. I will go to Motion in the morning. I am going to replace all of them in time but I have a couple that I have to do now. Thanks Billy

McMaster sells them as well.

Metric standard, they got it all!! Another good example of how these ebay sellers or webpage "guru's" take your hard earned money. They buy from here and mark it up, why go anywhere else. I have had nothing but good transactions with these guys.

McMaster has always been good to me.

Grainger, too, but I only buy from them b/c they have a shop about 1/2-mi from work.

Not sure either of them carry the 1.5 pitch thread though....

I went to Motion Industries and ordered one it should be in by Tues. Skipping and all was $47.36 I didn't think that was bad. Thanks Billy
