Interchangeable Parts ?
Hi I have a 2000 Durango,5.9.Due to the stripped out brake caliper bolts issue these trucks are famous for,I need to change the steering knuckles.I need to know besides My 2000,What other year Durangos would be compatible for these parts?
|
2 or 4 wheel drive?
|
It is a 4x4
|
Looking for one on the used market? I see them new for 200 bucks and change. Think that would have a much higher likelyhood of having good threads........ If you want a used one, the junkyard should be able to tell you what year range will work.
|
When I'm looking for 'what year will work' answers, even if I want to go the junk yard route, I got to Rock Auto or other parts sites and look at part numbers in other years for a match to the number for my year.

I'd just go with helicoils.

I believe they're 9mmX1.25 heli-coils. Work great. Oddball size but it'll save you a lot of time and some money. I've done this to 2 out of 4 of mine. No issues yet.

and you very likely WONT have issues unless you cross thread the heli-coils. Why, because the brakes load these bolts in shear, not tension, and its a tension load that would pull the threads out . . . |
