Name that Knuckle

[OldGreen]

Passenger side knuckle top view:

Front View:

Whole Axle (just for fun, most people don't see a passenger drop HP44 every day):

It has a chevy D44 type spindle pattern and the PO says it is from a waggy, but I've never seen a waggy like this. The driver's side looks the same except that both holes are the smaller size.

Help me out please?

doesnt look like a high pinion in the pic, must be the camera angle huh?

 

[Little Red Zuk]

How many bolts for the spindle mounting?

 

[OldGreen]

not the camera angle, it is the fact that the whole axle is rotated and sitting on the yoke.

jeep j10???

 

[OldGreen]

How many bolts for the spindle mounting?

Chevy.. .6 bolt round. In fact, the other one has chevy spindles, caliper mounts, calipers, etc. bolted on it.

this is not a factory weld. imo the axle has been modified.

Its definately not a 60..:stirpot: :haha: :haha:

 

[OldGreen]

LMAO. . .yes, the axle has been modified. . .it is a HP44 center section w/chromoly tubes, Warn shafts, 5.38 gears and an air locker. . .all done up passenger drop like a proper Jeep. The knuckles are the only thing in question. Everything is "normal" on them except the 2 holes in the steering arm on both sides.

That is most definately NOT a factory weld. It is a professional weld though. . yes?

[PORTER]

Right on get them in the Heep as I am ready for that Rimrock trip we talked about.

 

[OldGreen]

Nope, try again.


'71-'74 Scout II's had D30 open knuckle, drum brake front axles (standard), and they used the exact same Scout knuckle as you pictured, but the standard 6-stud mounting like Ford, GM, Jeep whatever.



So it is possible to have a 6-stud scout knuckle. However you are correct that they have a dog-leg... and the original knuckle you posted *looks* simular to a Scout, with the long length and such, but isn't.


Can't tell completley from the picture.. but it almost looks modified/welded.... i.e. not stock.

They are an oddball mid-70's Dana 30 knuckle. Holes are factory but the outter driver was reamed for big TRE's loaded from the top.

They are getting drilled to 3/4" for Heims.
