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.

Jorge has broken a lot of stuff that you don't see break very often at all.
His broken knuckle was an anomaly .
But it's not my money. You want new knuckles, go for it. Certainly won't hurt anything.

I was just spending big Mike's money...no problemo.
It would be nice to have a complete list of Jorge's breaks. I recall an axle tube being one thing.

I WILL make fun of you if you paint your knuckles anything but pink

I gotta be honest and admit I didnt not try to break my front housing last week but I failed.
I tell you, after seeing what that 3 speed Atlas did for @j-dubya 's XJ - and that cutting brake action he could pull off w/ his mega ebrake setup - I will have something like that someday.
