So the steering knuckle bent 4 wheeling. Long story short to get everything to line back up, we heated the knuckle up to bend it back. Now every thing is good and lined up but how weak do you think the knuckle is, should i be realy carefull or is it still gonna take alot for that thing the break?

 

i think it will bend again in the same place, but give it a shot and prove me wrong.
in the meantime, locate a new knuckle from the junkyard just in case i'm right.

 

i wouldnt chance it...if it bent once, it can bend again.

 

Also, the inner part of the axle shaft is still ok, but the outer part, the stub is toast. I cant find any wear that just sells the stub.

 

If it already bent once I'd call around to junk yards and track down another one and until then I would take it easy.

A few months ago I picked one up from a junk yard for $100...I think.

 

About a year ago I bought one brand new from them. They are manufactured in Green Bay Wisconsin. My dad works about a block away from the plant. Thats how I found them.

I looked online and found where I got mine from.

I just went to this Minton motors web site. Theyt seem awsome, thats probably wear im gonna get it from. And this knuckle does not seem like its going to bend. I drove it realy hard yesterday, and its holding up great

 

I would be concerned about that knuckle snapping since you heated it up to bend it back.
