Steering Knuckle Machining

Post by zach119 »

Anyone ever use a service like this to get a steering knuckle tapped. For the price it doesn't look like a bad deal to include the keyed steering arm.

Does anyone else have any other company they'd reccomend instead of this one?

I haven't seen any other companies selling keyed 44 arms. I had AOI drill and tap mine, cost about 50 but I already had my steering arms and all. That doesn't seem like a terrible deal considering you get the arm. If you're not set on keyed arms I imagine theres someone local to you that could tap the knuckle and then you could run normal arms, otherwise off the top of my head I know ballistic can do mail in orders.

I'm guessing you have an OBS chevy going by your signature, you should definitely POR 15 your frame and get some sweet bosch wiper blades.
