Why the new knuckles? Are those better than the stock knuckles, or was something wrong with the those rusty old knuckles?Originally posted by 71BRONCO71 at Buck Island 6/25/11Comment

I just want to build this axle one time and never have to touch it again. So...Mr. Overkill strikes again and I just figured I would install the Dedenbear knuckles now and sleep peacefully at night.

OK, now I have to go check for cracks. Anything else?Originally posted by 71BRONCO71 at Buck Island 6/25/11Comment

Just check for those cracks, but if you aren't going to run high steer arms and big ass tires, you probably don't have anything to worry about.
Did you find the BOM?Comment

Geez...after this it will be time to stop spending $$$ don't u think?
I haven't heard of the knuckles cracking. Do you think I will have an issue with the ones I just bought??“I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.” TJComment

The cracking issues are with the D60 knuckles not the D44 knuckles. It might just be a product of people running larger tires on rigs that have D60 front axles, therefore, causing the cracking. Most people running D44 aren't running super large tires. (40's and up) So they are not experiencing the cracking problem.Originally posted by Delta 4 WheelComment
