Toyota 6 (Six) Stud Crossover Steering Knuckles

After many years of waiting, there is now a fix for loose, broken, or sheared studs that are beginning to be more and more of a problem with higher torque being put on the 4 stud system. 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.

These knuckles are sold as a pair and include 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. See below for either factory studs or use ARP Knuckle Studs for even greater strength for your steering system.
