Knuckle stud upgrade

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   With Stan's recent knuckle stud problem I began researching info about this upgrade to our steering knuckles. I found some info over on the ECJ5 forum.  It replaces the studs with 3/8-24 button head cap screws to keep the studs from pulling the threads out of the knuckle. No pics but good info none the less. Requires you to clearance the new button head bolts for gouging the sealing surface of the knuckle, as if they never leak
