dana 44 flattop knuckles

[69LC]

I have a pair of dana 44 flat top knuckles I want to sell. Should I have them milled, drilled and tapped for studs or just try to sell as is? What's a reasonable price?

Wrong Section.. but i would just sell them as is.. no point polishing up those Turds..

and i would put them for sale on your local 4x4 sites, or Craigslist, LC guys in general don't want D44 stuff..

The 44 knuckles are notorious for cracking under hard use after theyve been machined anyway. What would you ask for them in stock form, I know a Jeep guy that might need them.

I'm guessing $100 for the pair, plus shipping from 49401. I don't want them either, they merely served as DITY move weight when I moved back to Michigan from NorCal.

I'm planning hybrid axles w/toyota knuckles. I know toy knuckles are strong, but what kills them? I'm planning soa, 35-38" with super longs, probably full hydro steering. I used to make 4x4labs arms (for about 3 months) and will likely use them.

Loose steering studs, not properly set up hydro-assist system turning further than the stops prevent and loading the knuckle up while at the stops are two that will kill them for certain.

knuckle studs

would it be worth putting in larger dia knuckle studs?

That or skip straight to 6-stud knuckles. One is more time, one is more money.

You can drill and tap for d44 studs.9/16 18... thats on my to do list.Gotta drill the arms out also and and have the chamfer put in for the cone washers.That and the 5th bolt mod.Also on my to do list.

 

[69LC]

did you use the d44 studs? I need to stop by soon and check out your rigs.

I currently have the knuckles on ebay and things are going well for my first sale, I think.
