FAQ:
Q: I'm ready, how does this work?
A: when you are ready, send your cores to :
weaver fabrication
21433 gilbert drive
redding, ca 96002
your cores must be stock and in good condition, remember to include your information with your stuff, always good to shoot me a pm to let me know something is on the way, don't forget your email addy!
Q: why do I need a knuckle saver
A: in the event of an upper ball joint failure or an axle u-joint failure, the knuckle saver prevents the loss of steering and brake control that happens when the tire/knuckle assembly separates from the vehicle. "drive it back to camp" in the event of failure and "save collateral damages" from happening!!
Q: what is stock and in good condition mean?
A: a stock take off knuckle, no missing or bent/broken pieces, not excessively rusted or pitted, no prior welding, no drilled out tie rod ends
Q: what if my knuckles aren't stock?
A: in most cases, they can be machined, but, there will be a $100 setup fee
Q: what is a setup fee?
A: a setup fee is a charge to cover the cost of setting up a cnc to machine a specific part. this only applies to knuckles that cant be exchanged due to mods or non stocking items.
Q: are dana 50 and dana 60 unit knucks the same?
A: yes
Q: do i have to remove the ball joints?
A: no, i can do it for you, but they will be removed for cnc
Q: will i retain the vacuum autolock function?
A: no, the machining operation removes the port
Q: what is the turnaround time?
A: we typically will ship out within a couple days, once cores have been recieved/inspected, shipping is 2-5 business days depending on location.
Q: how much is shipping?
A: in the lower 48, a kit runs +/-$65 depending on where it is going, ups ground.
a single side would obviously be less.
Q: can i tie the arms together?
A: yes, the original arm tilts inward stock, the hi-steer runs parrallel to eachother, they are located over the stock arm. it just takes spot facing the stock arm and drilling the hi-steer arm.
Q: will these clear leafsprings?
A: yes and no, it depends on the spring pack and where the tie rod is attached, this arm is not as tall as the oru arm.
Q: will this kit clear h1 wheels?
A: recentered h1's clear fine, stock h1's would require 8x6.5" units and a spacer.
Q: why are the arms blank?
A: there are too many steering options to setup for, tie rods or heims, degrees of steering, ram stroke, etc.. this allows the end user to plan and drill the arm to suit his particular setup.
Q: do you have a solution for 05'-up axles
A: yes, see our 05-up thread or go to weaverfabrication.com
Q: can you machine f450-f550 knuckles with the bigger brakes?
A: yes, since we do not stock the cores for that application, the turnaround time will be longer. see picture below of f450 cnc knuckle
