Im helping my cousin do a solid axle swap on his truck. I couldnt talk him into buying a 78-79 D60 so he bought a 78 D44 since it will be mostly street. I know stupid right!!!
Anyway we took the passenger side knuckle to the local machine shop. I get a call a few days later saying the knuckle casting isnt taking threads. The high steer studs kinda wobble in the holes a little bit. Drilling and tapping them just looks like powder not shavings. They say the knuckle casting must be bad.
My question is i have a spare knuckle sitting here that i could take them to have them try it again. Is there any one thats seen this happen or should i go some place else??
