knuckle

so i was looking around for a knuckle rebuild kit and all the ones i found are for the 80's. am i missing something? I'm so close to finishing my 100 i just need this last rebuild kit and ill be able to drive it again after months of it being up on jack stands.. :cry:

In the middle of putting my knuckle back together and I just bolted the spindle and dust seal back on. It seems very hard to turn the knuckle. Is this normal? My knuckle bearing preload checked out right at 5lbs before I installed the axle and birf.

I may get flamed for this, but here goes Exactly how much variation can there be in knuckles. In the 3 sets I have to choose from for my disc upgrade the shims only varied by 1 or 2. If I choose a set and setup for preload only, am I courting disaster later? I've got the Marlin Crawler seals...

I'm about to swap in fine spline birfields from a 76/77 into a 1970 FJ40. Do I need a centering tool for alignment, or can I just place the shims back into the same order I removed them? I've read up, just dont know if it is totally necessary. Thanks, Chad

I'm working on centering my knuckles right now using the SST. I'm getting: A: 167.68mm B: 165.18mm C: 2.5mm D: 5.7mm E:2.7mm F: -0.2mm Overall it seems that the total shim thickness seems correct around 2.5mm, but the FSM says that if theres considerable difference between E & F then to...

I'm in the middle of rebuilding the drivers side knuckle before I do the other side and have a few questions 1. On the top of the knuckle the bearing had 2 shims, the bottom had only 1. Should I be concerned? 2. what type of paint do you recommend i use after I clean all the grime off?

On the way back from Coyote Lake last weekend, I broke the passenger knuckle studs, forcing the knuckle and wheel off the truck (destroying the knuckle bearings (SPC 3 degree bearings) and leaving me stranded. I ended up being able to load the truck onto a trailer and get it home. Now I am...

Hello fellow mudders, I’m in a bind! For the past day in a half I’ve been trying to install my knuckle bearing racers. I have a 97 fzj80 that I’m doing a birfield rebuild on, the only thing holding the project up is the damn racers. I’ve tried the freezer trick, they’ve been in the freezer...

Hey guys, So the 8 mile road is telling on my truck. I need to do a knuckle rebuild and possibly more? The tire has a little bit of play in it now, and I don't know if it's just that the seal is gone or if there is something more sinister in there. I've never done this before and was wondering...

Hey guys- I have birf soup going on... something I've been putting off for a year. So, while I'm tearing into it, I figured I'd go ahead and rebuild the knuckles too. What's the best thread on Mud for doing this for those of us who haven't ever done it? Thanks much!!

I know this is probably a well-worn topic, but I'm ready to do mine and would like to order a front axle service kit asap and am looking for recommendations. Thanks in advance.
