|  Steering knuckles
Has anyone had any luck with making the RC4WD steering knuckles work in either a Clod or a TXT? They do not come with shoulder bolts and there just appears no way to tighten them without everything binding such that the servo cannot even move the knuckle.

| That's them
Granted that they do come with delrin spacers but with no sholder bolt and a standard hex bolt there is no way to make them tight enough, with no slop in the steering, to work. WHen you tighten the hex bolt everything binds to the point they do not pivot.

| Stock Kingpin
Unfortunately the replacement steering knuckles come with an ordinary 3mm screw and the stock kingpin screws have a 4mm thread. I suppose there is always the option to drill and tap but one would think for replacement parts they would have already thought of the kingpin problem. |

| Knuckle Update
If anyone has received some of the latest batch of steering knuckles from RC4WD and has a problem with the white spacers being sloppy, contact them and they will send you out a new set with much better tolerances.
