GloNDark 06-14-2002, 10:02 AM While wheeling last night my buddy sheered the studs on his 74 cruiser with truck discs and hysteer arms. And while digging thru my parts pile, I was thinking it would be a good idea to carry a spare knuckle for such things. However, who wants or has room to carry around two spare knuckles. Can the drivers side by used on the passenger or vice versa?? :confused: :D:D:D:D woody 06-14-2002, 10:37 AM They are not...the disc brake caliper tabs are only located on the back-side portion of each knuckle. IMO, the vast majority of stud breaks/stud tearouts are due to loosening of the nuts WAY prior to the break. I re-torque mine prior to every ride - since I checked them once and most of the passenger side arm nuts were loose. IIRC, torque is 79 ft-lbs. Double arms make this even worse, so those are a must-inspect prior to a ride.
