Need a New Steering Knuckle......
« on: May 25, 2004 - 03:55:50 AM »


Where can I buy a new steering knuckle for my Challenger? It's the front Left Hand side.
They need to be a reliable source, not some redneck in a caravan as I don't want to worry about the shipping, aka
"HAY 'MAA!!.....dnnn gon fought you said New Calidonia, not dat place dow dere innn New Zeeeeealand...." - Yeah well you get my drift.  ;D

Tried, YO and Mancini without any luck, have been thinking about going to Tonys parts but might leave that as a last resort.........CP? 360?


Any help, I need it bad my car is due in the paint shop FOR SURE this time on Thursday (Your Wednesday) and it won't be there too long, the last thing I want is my car being held up by something so small.........oh well I've waited this long.........


Anyhow thanks.......... ;)

One more thing..............Any other GOOD supension places? I also need some 8-3/4" axle parts from the Inner seals to the retainers, pretty much everything except the shaft itself for both left and right hand sides.  :P ;D

Web sites is what I'm hoping for.  :)

WQhat do you mean by Knuckle ??
 The coupler on the top of the steering box is stiull available new from Mopar  , not cheap though
 you can also get a rebuild kit for it

The steering knuckle thats part of the upper control arm.

Do you have the Year One E/B Body catalogue?

It's on page 180 top left corner. They have a picture of it but I can't for the love of me see it listed.

Where do you buy the new Mopar stuff? www.mopar.com??


Thanks CP  :)

I have read in a couple of different places that the
disc brake spindle on the '73 to '76 A-body are the same

And the brake assembly too


I don't think that helps the availibility in NZ but should
be more common on the internet

Not sure if anyone has new ones availible.I`d try to find a good  one from a used part supplier.Master Power Brakes sells a complete disc brake kit with spindles but they might not work with stock rotors.

Thanks Torredcuda, but there prices are far too expensive for only needing 1 part.


CP, Yupe I emailed him but no reply, I tried again just now so I'll see. Is he a mate or does he own his own "local" parts store?
