|  Non steering aluminum rear axle knuckle conversion?
Does anybody make anything like this? Since you can't have rear steer in the 2.2 class it seems like this would be a good product to have. A bolt on rear knuckle that attached like the Fat Rock Cs. No king pin. All one piece for more ground clearance and so you didn't have to use tie rods to keep your rear tires straight.

I'd personally rather see a change in the rules. But until then that is a good idea. They could still be affordable in a bolt-on format like the Fat Rock C's. What I have in mind would require welding, though. It would not be as easy to make as the C's, cause they would also have to be machined to carry a bearing. You'd also need to make longer inner axles.  Last edited by Big Mike; 01-06-2007 at 02:36 PM. |

Dumpster I was thinking the same thing. Wouldn't be hard to make just a little time.

Someone could just machine a small spacer that would fit over the shaft between the axle housing and the knuckle and that could keep it from turning. Would be a really cheap way to get rid of running a tie rod back there.
