Note: Please do not ship us knuckles with steering arms or steering arm studs still attached, we do not offer services for removing these items.
Machining of your Dana 44 knuckle will include fly cut surface machine on our vm30 cnc, drilling on 9/16ths stud bore's, and tapping for 9/16ths hardware.
We match machine work to factory Dana specs, all Dana 3 stud pattern arms will fit.
Sky's has machined over 2400 knuckles to date, with zero incorrect machining, beware of back yard shops that say they can, we have repaired a few of these, most are just scrap metal! We hold a .005 tolerance on these, which match's our steering arms, so it has to be correct to work!
Dana 44 knuckles must be flat top and open knuckle live spindle design to be machined. Closed knuckle king pin designs there are no options for. There are no options for unit bearing Dana 44 knuckles such as mid 80's Dodge.
Removal of ball joints and spindle studs is so we can perform the needed machine work. Our process of removing joints and studs will destroy them, and they will be scrapped. If you wish to keep your joints, find a local auto repair facility to remove them before sending your knuckle to us.
