Carli Fabricated Radius Arms

    • CS-DFRA-14
    • CS-DFRA-LVL-14

The Carli Fabricated Radius Arms are built with a spherical bearing at the frame pivot – each joint consisting of a 17-4 Stainless Steel Ball Center at the heart, 2 Bushings, 2 Safety Washers, a Snap ring and a Grease-Fitting. In non-corrosive environments, it’s not uncommon to only require replacement of the Bushings and Snap Rings for the life of the arms.

The Safety Washers, Zerk Fittings and Ball Centers should be inspected and replaced at the customer/shop’s discretion.
