The hub and bearings are press fit so it tends to rock in the knuckle as it
is so short.
When you undo the three bolts, 90% will cause the assembly to drop out.
The top portion of the Knuckle will always wear as the load is there almost
all the time.
We rebuild 98% of knuckles .
Our rebuilt unit assembly are warrantied for 80,000 miles without greasing.
This concept was taught by Roland Wilbur and Ken Toma back in 1985 and I
was privileged to be shown how it is done.
