I am looking for some 99, 00 or 01 grand knuckles! If anyone has any laying around or willing to pull some please let me know! I need them and cannot find any good ones local!!
Josh asked the queston in another thread, just the knuckles???
I never looked in to the conversion, so I don't know what to take off the donor.
IIRC, the WJ knuckles use larger rotors and calipers so I'd imagine in order to swap the knuckles, you're gonna need the full brake set up as well. The only other fittment issue is that the knuckle is formed differently and it requires a 1/4" spacer between the unit bearing and the knuckle surface so that the axle shaft u-joints maintain their pivot point in line with the ball joints.
I still have no idea why the WJ D30 would have been made any different than the previous applications.......... but it is.
If you're really nice to me (ahem.......$$$$ ) I might be able to be talked into going and snatching a pair at Colorado Auto Parts and ship 'em to ya...... I'm fairly certain there'd be a set or two there. :thumbup:
I thought i had a set found for ya a couple weekends ago but one side was missing the caliper bracket so i didn't grab them for ya.
That is one funky looking steering bracket........
Can't find any info on it on the BTF website though...... :dunno:
