Reid Racing Steering knuckles

[Headbarcode]

You have to call them to order, they are still waiting shipments to come in and filling out thier backlog list, which i have been on for like 4 months now because delay delay delay hahaha.

I was gonna take the ride in to the shop today, to install the Dynatrac ball joints and RCV axles, but while I'm in their has firmly set in. Hopefully, the knuckle list isn't too long, because I'm gonna put off the joint and axle swap until I have a set of these knuckles.

I like watching some install videos and reading instruction sheets the night before an install. As soon as I saw the part about knocking the tie rod off the knuckles, the 2.5 ton aluminum tie rod and drag link from Doetsch offroad planted in my mind. ?

Actually, I've had the full Steersmarts setup since back when I installed the first Dynatrac lift. Great parts, but the only spot that the clamping hardware on the tie rod doesn't interfere is slightly rearward of bottom dead center, which leaves it as the lowest hanging fruit.

While my mind is on all this, I also realized I don't have a ball joint press. Any suggestions for something more suited to those on the Jeep? The shop is geared towards commercial trucks and heavy equipment.

I use my otc press from amazon, works wonders, like 300 bucks or so. Its been used for ball joints about 7 times, a few u joints and other random stuff. Its been used and abused and even tried to sue me once for harassment and prostitution but it keeps on workin.

Oh and you need the dynatrac install kit if you havent gotten it, i dont think It would have been a pretty install without them

I'm starting to question if there's even a bottom. We just keep falling and falling, and still nothing. Lol!
