Its real simple. Remove both control arms and tie rod from hub. Remove the brake caliper and bracket and rotors. Send it in

I would be down for this. I also have an extra set of knuckles sitting around that I could send you to get this started. I could send those to you. Let you do work, then send out the others to get the ball rolling on this. I know of a few members on here who would be up to this.

Cool when you're ready send me a PM and we'll get it sorted for you.

I am curious as to how you would do it though. We send you the hubs you modifiy them and send them back or we send you the cores and you ship us knucks that are already modified. I have to get new Knuckles this year anyway cause my wheel bearings are shot and its cheaper to pick up a used set than it is to buy new bearings and have them pressed in. lol
too true -see below

that's not a bad idea, I may not get around to it for a little while since my SC's not here.

$175 would cover both

LOL! cool, tie rod spacers don't do much... PM me when your ready.


-I've already got a set with and without bearings made here so, I can charge a core of say $150 + $175 for the knuckles and once I receive a good set of knuckles back from you I'll refund your deposit.

Or you can send me yours and I'll turn them back around within 2-3 Business days, (plus shipping time) I can press bearings in/out but that would be extra. They're a PITA to hold in the press.

If your hubs have bad bearings I can press in new ones or find you good used hubs with bearings, if you send me hubs with trashed bearings or cracks I won't be able to refund your deposit.

every set will be crack checked.

-bump steer is noticeably reduced
-the feeling of a locked up wheel at full lock is nearly gone
-this is the third generation on this mod, I've been working on this chassis since early 2007 so I'm not some random welder with a new idea.

I'll wait to see how many people are seriously ready do do this before I become a sponsor. (so far looks great!)

BTW I will have vouches from at least 3 members who have had extensive work done by me in the past. one represents a shop that I've done a lot of business with. Plus my trader feedback is 100%
