How do you forge a alredy cast part? I thot it was one or nuther. Like cranks.
And titenin the nut on the stud repeatedly will pull the threds out.

where are the ARP studs
Trail-Gear has em, or you could really upgrade and jump up to D44 ARP studs. Just have to tap the knuckle for the larger stud I believe.
i know who sells them, all 8 of my top studs are TG ARP i was refering to the picture above that says arp studs and 5th stud but there were no arp studs in the pic!!!!!!!!!

Biggest thing is keeping the studs tight. Check/tighten them each time you go out, it's not like its difficult. After i learned the hard way on my first rig, now before i go out i just hit them with the impact. I'm running 39.5's with stock studs and no 5th stud and i'm doing great.:awesomework:
Wow, Im gonna have to start doing that. :awesomework:
Hey guys no need to upgrade your studs.
No anser? Again how do you forge a part that has ben cast?
You have to be careful on who's advice you take. Whitetrash knows **** about metal processing.
They are made of cast steel then forged to straighten up the grain structure and strengthen the part.
Can they be welded sure I'd imagine they can. I've built a handful of crossover arms and they welded great just like any normal piece of steel should weld. I've never personally welded on a knuckle so I can't tell you how it welds but I did include a set of 4xlabs 6 stud plates with my yota axles to go with my Marlin 6 stud steering arms.
I just showed this post (and others that follow) to the engineers in the office. They all agreed you are a ****ing idiot, some said they never laughed so hard in their life, one said you backstroke like Michael Phelps.
Casting and forging are two completely different processes a forged part is "formed" into shape usually with hydraulic force where a casting is "poured" into a mold. A forged part is generally stronger than cast but more expensive, he said you can probably forge a knuckle but the machining required wouldn't be cost effective. On the other hand a steering arm is relatively easy to forge because it is far less complicated than the knuckle.
Oh darn I was wrong about something woa is me whatever shall I do now... :haha:
What the materials are made of and whether they are cast or forged or weldable has nothing to do with the O.P's question...keep it on topic fellas...will clean out the irrelevent bs shortly...If you want to debate metallurgy then start a new thread, and I will merge the related posts to it...!!!:awesomework:
Yeah well, ok, ya got me :booo:....yes it does, but don't the kits requiring welding come with some sort of instructions to help from said noob botching it together???
As for irrelevent material...keep it civil from here on out (not pointing the finger at you, just a general request)......and I will let it ride as long as I don't get instructions to do otherwise...:awesomework: There are a few posts in here that will go buh-bye, as they are not relevent...
