Just installed Reid Racing Knuckles after not catching a broken lower ball joint on the drivers side. Installed 37” tires at 6,000 km’s and forgot to check for vertical and lateral movements after rotating my tires at 65,000 km’s. After finally getting death wobble at 72,000 km’s I found the aluminum knuckle was wallowed out and upgraded everything! Reid Racing Knuckles, American Iron Offroad Deletes and RPM 2.5 Ton Steering Kit.

The chrysler parts guy was being really difficult and wouldn’t cooperate to try to find diesel ones, kept saying those won’t fit. The cost of the Reid’s was mot to far beyond my price expectations and I had them delivered to Edmonton I. Canada I’m 5 business day’s

Stuff breaks. Even the high dollar stuff will break. :bandit: This was a cool recovery to watch. It took a few coins in mechanical advantage to bring that Jeep home. Glad everyone made it out safe and in good spirits.
