Im in need of a RH steering knuckle. Picked a fight with a guard rail and lost!
The steering arm where the tie rod end fits into is slightly bent giving the RH wheel about 30mm toe out:(
Anyway I am after a new knuckle cos I wont be able to accuratly bend it back. If you have a spare please let me know.

Not sure what you're talking about when referring to the knuckle. I take it you're talking about the thin arm out of the rack - best to get a new one I think and hope nothing else is stuffed.

If it's the forged upright cum arm I'll have one of those...$40...would take some bending though.

No that would be the tie rod. I'll put a picture up.

This is what I need. The steering arm is slightly bent outward.

Yeah, that's what I'd call an upright....have that here, might want to save your dust shield, as I'd only have mangled ones....interesting they've changed the design on that. You're not supposed to do it, but heating the arm up to cherry red with an oxy and bending the arm back into position, then covering with a welding blanket while it cools is another minimum fuss option - done to change ackerman in some applications and I'm still alive to tell the tale.:)

Considered heating and bending but I wont get it acurate enough. If you have 1 I am keen to buy.:nod:

Not that it will show much, here's the RH one....meaning driver's side to avoid any confusion.

hope you pulled the hub, before removing it from the car, otherwise fun times ahead. Can't do it today, but if you send details should have it in the mail tomorrow.
