CKRC Knuckles

[Pappy]

Quick question, are CKRC high steer knuckes for the berg built to berg specs or axial? Just wondering as I have 300 CVD's built for berg knuckles, and have a set of the CKRC units and am redesigning my steering set-up. Thanks!!!.:?

The ckrc knuckles are berg spec. I bought axial version cvds and found out the hard way.

THANK YOU!!!!!"thumbsup"

They have both.

If you buy the ones listed as Berg, they fit the Berg spec (or the ones that come in the CKRC steering kit).

If you buy the axial ones, they have the axial spacing.

Do you mean super 300's or CKRC knuckles???????:?

^^^I think he means the knuckles, CKRC has both (axial and berg) knuckles listed in the berg parts. I had the same question so I e-mailed Jake and he said the berg specific knuckles will work with the berg 300s , and the axial specific will work with the axial berg 300s.

depends on if you buy berg or axial knuckle. the ckrc site says ax-10 high steer knuckle, why would it be berg spec.
they have others that are berg knuckles, they would be berg spec..

And what is the difference? Is there something noticable that sets them apart?

I bought the CKRC OTA kit w/Berg knuckles and found out that they were not a simple "swap parts" installation. The bushing area was thicker than the stock Berg bushings, so I had to use the taller Axial flanged pipe bushings to make them work properly. Also, if you use DNA berg offset wheels, you'll have to countersink the inner beadlock screws to prevent rubbing.

Or you can file down the CKRC knuckles slightly until the stock brass bushings stick up above the knuckles...works fine for me. This way you have aluminum rubbing on brass, not aluminum rubbing on steel. Eventually the steel will win.

My 0.02.

i personaly do not like the CKRC knuckles because you have to %*#@ with them for so long and they are so short you lose a ton of steering power

Just an FYI.
I've bored several knuckles for Berg/S300 assemblies.
(I bore the outboard bearing bore to accept a 6mm by 12mm by 4mm bearing rather than the small bearing that comes with the S300s.)

I've bore STRC, Axial, VP, Berg, RCP and CKRC.
The CKRC knuckles are surprisingly soft. Even the cast Berg knuckles are harder.
Food for thought.
