BigMike:
I HAVE to get hydraulic assist steering. The reason I have to bump the throttle changing directions is so the steering will move. $$2500 PSC kit, $1200 RCV's, $500 Reid Knuckles .... Sigh
Trailabite:
The hydro-assist made a world of difference.

Reid Knuckles are not a good investment in your application.
When was the las time you saw a knuckle that was less than 20 years old break? It's extremely rare. You just don't gain much from them at all on a modern axle. IMO
If you had an old 1 ton truck axle...yea. Those old knuckles that have had a lot of use and age can break... saw Larry do it(twice) and Hay did it recently. But the new ones are good to go.

Thanks for the heads up. I'll just paint mine orange. lmao lmao
Jorge broke one at Chocco - Dana 30 but same knuckles. Everyone froze when we were on George Winter at AOP because we heard this BIG SNAP when I slammed down off of a rock. Believe it was a spring reseating but my heart stopped.

Replace the knuckles. Tony asked a question, you answered it. Don't let that what happened to Jorge happen to you.
