STRC Steering Knuckle fitment issue

[nosfanatic2006]

As the title basically says, my strc brass steering knuckles will not slide over the IFS control arm mounts. Is the IFS that different from the solid axle? I was under the impression they were the same steering knuckle. Anyone else have fitment issues from strc? Should I try to drill out the knuckle so they slide in or did I just get a bad batch? Neither side fits btw

When i built my IFS rig with SSD brass knuckles they didnt fit either, I took a bit of sand paper in a drill and "honed out" the knucles them sevles. I've seen other people put the ball studs in a drill with some sand paper took a bit of material off the stud while it was spinning.
Im pretty sure this is a common thing for whatever reason.

Thank you. I'll try that when I get home. Bit of a bummer but oh well lol

I had to drill out my SSD knuckles. Its due to the ball stud being larger for the IFS kit.
I think its a metric size in case you have metric drill bits.

At least its an easy fix and we're fortunate enough that this doesnt require an entirely new part.
