I's say since both are Spicer knuckle, and they are similar, they are close enough for it not to madder. For most people it's more a matter of what bolt patter they want to run, and what parts you already have. tsmall07 11-18-2005, 05:48 PM ok i have a complete ford axle with flat tops but i heard the top wasn't massive enough to handle the drilling and tapping of high steer, so i just wanted to find out for sure mj 11-19-2005, 09:47 AM a lot of ford knuckles LOOK like flattops if you do not know what a flattop knuckle is. if it is a true flattop knuckle it will have the extra metal in the locations that the steering arm studs reside look inside the knuckle and see if the raised areas are present http://www3.telus.net/mjmillar/4x4/dana44balljoints/DSCF0161.jpg Mr.N 11-19-2005, 04:27 PM a lot of ford knuckles LOOK like flattops if you do not know what a flattop knuckle is. if it is a true flattop knuckle it will have the extra metal in the locations that the steering arm studs reside look inside the knuckle and see if the raised areas are present http://www3.telus.net/mjmillar/4x4/dana44balljoints/DSCF0161.jpg I couldn't have said it better my self! tsmall07 11-19-2005, 04:38 PM i did not know that. i'll have to check that out mj 11-19-2005, 06:18 PM if you had searched you would have found this info from the last thread on flattops. I couldn't have said it better my self! big images answer many questions. the hard part is the bandwidth to use them. tsmall07 11-21-2005, 08:33 PM if you had searched you would have found this info from the last thread on flattops. that might be true, however my original question didn't have anything to do with how to tell if a knuckle is a flat top or not masterbeavis 11-21-2005, 10:45 PM touche :d ya learn someting new everyday | |
