[QUOTE="crash2, post: 1444107, member: 15940"] Before I could go forward with my steering setup I went ahead and decided to do what any die hard bully guy would do---tear apart/grease and locktight on just the front axle for now. I also clearanced the housing/knuckles for more steering angle. I have done a bunch of the bearing mods and decided to do something to help me. I made a simple jig to hold the knuckle. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-super-25.jpg[/IMG] In turn I ended up with a much better hole with the bearing fitting VERY nice compared to free handing it. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-super-26.jpg[/IMG] One thing I found interesting comparing the alum and cast knuckles was the cast ones are a tad thicker when I made the bearing shims(preload). The alum ones ranged around 2.12mm where the cast ones I got 1.80-1.17mm for the shims. [IMG]http://nw-wheelers.com/coppermine/albums/userpics/10002/swa-super-27.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
