Default TLT Knuckle Project

I recieved my new mill friday and finished up these rear knuckles today. They are designed to lock out the rear steering and help prevent breaking the "C" on the houseing.











The fronts are next :-) . Hysteer arms, flush with the upper king pin.

heck ya thoes are beefe man good job.... you clould sell alot of them..


u should also considder making another tab that connects to the back of the axle... so on both sides of the axle pluss the king pin skrews... then it would be BEEFEE as ****

Hy steer arms would be kick *** espically if you braced the arm to where id didnt bend like the stock plastic ones..

Hrm should take that mill and make a entire axle with it >_>
Cool parts though cleans up a lot of junks that relate to locking the rear.

Thanks for the complements guys. This is my first project with the mill so I don`t think I`m quite ready to bite off a whole axle yet, but when I am I`m thinking portals.

The flex of the stock knuckle arms is driveing me crazy, which is is what set this whole knuckle thing off. Hopefully in a few more weeks the flexing issue will be a thing of the past, then I can move on to some other ideas I want to try.
