Steering knuckles?

[zraffz]

Does anybody make replacement steering knuckles? I really don't feel like pulling them off the parts truck.

Or maybe I will and than I don't need to buy new hubs also and I can save quiet a bit of cash... hmmm..

lmc has new knuckles for 4x4's and they run like $600 a piece. I got mine from a junkyard for $65 after the caliper bolt ear broke off.

Yeah screw that. I have a parts truck but I didn't want to go through the hassle. Guess I have no choice. I heated up and used penetrating oil on the bolts that hold the hub to the knuckle and they stripped. The hub is shot and I needed to get it off. The hubs on the parts truck are perfect though so I guess I have my solution.

yea just take off the caliper, then the upper lower ball joints and tie rod end and you're set. of course the axle nut too but you know what I mean, leave it altogether and swap it on as one piece.

Nah I got new ball joints and tie rods since I'm lifting the truck. Already have it all sitting in my kitchen
