    Default Knuckles?

    One of my friends has a NA that recently broke the rear passenger side knuckle. The car is lowered significantly and the wheel offset made the knuckle break in half where it meets the LCA and it is scary. Anyway, he needs at least that knuckle asap before the city fines him for his car sitting out on the street. I haven't really researched this at all, but are the NB knuckles tougher?

    I don't know if they are the same as an NB or not. Check with Track Dog Racing and ask if they have any used ones laying around.

    No real difference in strength. I think I have a used one, I'll check my storage this afternoon.

    Thank you, because the car is sitting out on the street, and he's lucky it's Memorial Day weekend, because he's a getting a reprieve on having it towed. It's up on jack stands.

    Will do if another doesn't pop up any closer. That's quite a while away.

    Very quick question: is there supposed to be a twist in the upper rear control arm when viewed from the end? The knuckle isn't lining up. sorry for the crappy photos

    No, something's bent. Use BFH to unbend.
