F350 knuckle swap
« on: March 10, 2012, 05:54:09 PM »
I had a brake issue today so the trigger is pulled on this. D60 is in the bed, brake parts ball joints and ujoints requested from our preferred provider.

I need to have the hub lip turned down from 4.88 to 4.77. Should be a cake job; is that m4wd government project possible or do I need to run down to OEM again?

Hmm, If I was smart I'd get bearrings and seals ahead of time too wouldn't I?

I'll need to reread a couple things to know if I'll need any steering parts. I really don't remember on that.

Eric at EMS showed me that '09+ steering is a nice bolt on upgrade to our trucks though. Its as much of an upgrade as v8 zj stuff is on a tj, and it's better geometry too. Inverted T instead of inverted Y, and the link goes in the top so it doesn't give the dead spot roll. Clever...

That's right, the AAM front end swapped steering too didn't it?

Speaking of axles remind me to share his opinion on the 14b. Pretty interesting.
