I've been hearing a lot of people say that with full hydraulic steering I will blow out my steering knuckles. What can I buy, get, find, take, fabricate, or swindle to make sure my front dana 60 knuckles wont detonate with full hydraulic steering? Any information would be great.

I would take your question to the newb general 4x4, you might get a better answer there...

here, all these guys know is "its a jeep thing, they dont understand much more than that":flipoff2:

Mikey, From my experience,the only way I can see full or assist hydraulic steering "blowing out a knuckle" is by not having the end stops or ram travel right. Nothing is unbreakable, I've seen pics of broken D60 knuckles, but most appeared to be rock induced, bound up breakage.

WE~have had both~PS

Do a search for Welderboy's fabricated knuckles.
He builds them out of steel plate, very stout.

But $1500 for a pair Big ol' spank on the peepee!!

Try Wagoner Machine in Tulsa Ok, they make some kick ass 60 knuckles, but they are $$$$$$$$

weps nailed it. Make sure your stops are turned enough so that the ram has full travel and then let the stops hit. Don't let the stops limit the ram because it will win. Most of the brakes are due to no feel though so you have to be careful when turning the wheel.
