Over a year in development and testing, this new knuckle design sets a new standard in Toyota knuckle strength and reliability. This kit totally eliminates the problem of broken steering knuckles and studs. The addition of two studs in each arm effectively prevents the steering arm from becoming loose and shearing off the studs. The knuckle housing is also thicker than stock and larger gussets have been added around the outside of the knuckle for extra strength. Precision CNC machined, each knuckle is direct bolt on, heavy duty replacement.
Six Shooter KnucklesTM are sold as a pair and includes a set of special 6 hole shims for use between the top of the knuckle and the steering arm. Also included is a 1/2" coarse thread bolt to help remove the steering arms for knuckle service. To remove the steering arms, remove all 6 nuts, then install the bolt in the top of the arm. As the bolt is tightened, the steering arm is pulled up off the knuckle. Stock lower bearing plates and shims from your old knuckles are needed for knuckle assembly. A minimum of four additional steering arm studs are needed for installation. Six Shooter KnucklesTM are a Marlin Crawler design and are manufactured exclusively by Trail-Gear Inc. No questions asked, lifetime warranty on all knuckles, arms, rod ends and rods.
Fits 1979-1985 Toyota Pickup and 4Runner solid front axles.
