In the new JP they have a pic of them. I didn't see anything in the sema coverage anywhere on the 'net.

They are a totally fabbed knuckle that uses uni-balls instead of ball-joints, and a CV joint inside the knuckle. Thjey look like they might be lighter than a 60 knuckle?

I have a thing for trick desert fab.....

Anyone have pics or info?

130 people look at it and noone has any info? Ok....fine...I will reply to my own post.....

Here was the text....and the pic is attached.

"Jason Miles of Tube-Works brought out this sick handbuilt chrome-moly steering knuckle to the Off Road Expo. It features race inspired uni-balls or kingpins. Huge durable non-plunging GKN CV joints sit where U-joints normally would. Get this- You can steer is 45 degrees each way, and its just as strong as when it is straight. It's not the first time that we've seen CVs find there way into straight axles, and we don't think it will be the last. Information: Tube-Works, 909/552-1117, www.tube-works.com"

That is awesome mang. Is it built for any specific axle or did they fab their own up? looks like $$$. Oh yeah, for info, did you check www.tube-works.com ?:flipoff2:

that's crazy stuff. I love all this super strong stuff coming out lately...

good, that leaves more crazy strong innovative cool stuff for me. :flipoff2:

it just seems like in the past year or so we have seen a lot of awesome innovations in this area.

That was at the Off Road expo, not SEMA. That looks like it uses a microstub axle and unit bearing hub and a porshe 935 CV, pretty standard stuff for sand rails and pre-runner buggys. I dont know about the spherical bearings, they are not loaded in the strongest direction, but alot of poeple use them that way with no problems.

Yeah...article said sema......text said expo....

I was thinking about the uniballs used like that. About how far can a uniball turn going the strong way?

Many of the off-road race cars have used uniballs for years in that position on a a-arm ifs setup. They dont break or anything, but I dont know how long they last, many of those guys change them out every race anyway. I have designed some ifs steering knuckles that use them mounted vertically and you have to use hi-misalignment spacers for you steering angle, you can get up to 35 degs depending on what size bearing and bolt you use.
