    Dana 60 Knuckles

    Anyone know of someone that makes aftermarket knuckles for the Ford ball joint Dana 60's or even hi steer arms?

    which style of ford 60? Trunion (kingpin), Ball joint with spindle, or balljoint with unitbearing? you have a few designs and options to go with and it makes a difference on which company makes the style your after.

    1992 Ford F350 is what it came out of. Ball Joint w/o the unit bearing outers.

    Mine are Rockcrusher. I think they are Solid Axel Ind.
    Ford ball joint with Chevy spindle and brakes. Knuckle and high steer arm have a key way cut in to take the side load. Hard to fine something stronger IMO.

    You could run a Spider Trax knuckle and mod for spindles. If you want pic's look at my first rebuild on Evo's site. Or wait until I get back home here next week sometime.

    Tom if you can wait a bit longer my new fabbed knuckles will be coming out which ditch the d60 spring/plastic cone crap and replace it with bearings that you preload.

    I'll need some guys to run the prototypes and I know you'll drive it nice.

    The bearing conversion stuff cost a fair bit of $, but I'll let you guys now what a test set will go for once I get finished.
