Well after spending money on bearings and seals and ball joints my new knuckles do not fit  The interchange book was wrong! It said 76-86 would all interchange. So now I have new ball joints and bearings in a set of knukles I can't use! Now I need a set of good used knukle quick and cheap! |

Yup. But then custom steering is in order. And I won't be able to get her on her wheels tomorrow. Are you going to bring down that other 44? I wish I had access to the press tomorrow. then I could get the balljoints swapped.

I can't load the axle by myself, but I do have a spare set of chevy knuckles I'll bring with.

BTW Rob and I have the 44 mounted under Blue. with the springs on and all. Looks like a cinder block will out flex the front of blue right now looks like we will most definatly have to build wristed radius arms but I am just going to have to live with out the flex up front till after the Krawl is over. Looks like I am going to have to win the winch also Blue might be a little nose high with out it! |

pub21.ezboard.com/fjustscoutnaroundfrm7.showMessage?topicID=75.topicDon't know if this will solve your delimea but these knuckles are up for grabs. I did the machine woek on them so I know there good to go. They are IH flattop D44 knuckles, since they are 8 bolt spindles you would have to run the Scout II spindles and disc brakes. I know how ya fill about the mods setting ya back, it happens on Scouts too.

The sage continuues! Today while pounding out the ball joints I smacked my thumb with the sledge and most likely broke it (my thumb) when the joint popped out.
