aluminum steering mounts?

[Obeast44]

Making some rear bearing housings with the oversized bearings that I used in the front steering knuckles.
? There are two holes for mounting the arms, Stock uses the lower one for the lower arm and the inside one for the upper arm. I can't see why they have the other holes. It's waste of time to put them in and adds weight.


Does anyone use these extre holes?????

They are there for suspension adjustments, if at all possible leave at least the upper extra holes in.


Once you get a price on the pieces let me know. I want a set with the larger bearings.

Yup... I use the upper mounting hole on the lower part of the rear hub to achive the camber I like, so It would be wise to have them both.

oops


Thanks for the input.


Turns out that there are rules about selling stuff on this site that I was not aware of. So out of respect for Rob and this forum I will no longer offer parts for sale here.

Got my knuckles from Ol Fart installed. Machine work was great. The bearings fit in nice too and didn't have any play.I didn't realize how screwed up my plastic ones were untill I got it all apart. The bushings pretty much whopped out the holes untill they became oblong. I couldn't even get one knuckle out because I couldn't get a grip on the bushing. I ended up getting pissed off and cut the knuckle out with a dremel. Goodbye plastic POS's.Threaded alloy hubs with larger bearings are going to be a blessing.
