84 Solid Toyota Knuckle ball bent/ Closed
So I have bent my passenger side knuckle ball to where you can't get the axle out, anyone on here know who or where I can contact to get a Chromoly or higher grade metal Knuckle ball? I'm coming up with no one, people have em but won't sell it too me.

I have a whole front axle Jim....without the guts. Its yours if you want it. Id recommend a set of knuckle ball gussets....i did that on my FJ axle.
This is the one that i had. Cheap axle insurance.. http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/knuck...l-gussets.html

Ben thanks for the hookup I'm gonna need it, Mark came up with the best idea that I'm gonna have to stick a rag in the axle and grind top and bottom until I'm able to get the Dirty 30 out, I will also have to remove the 6 shooter knuckle and remove the bushing inserts for the Trunion bearing eliminator kit, it will be a messed up job, gonna limp it through Windrock and then start building the housing I get from you. In the end I guess the best decision is gonna be to get the upgraded housing with the heavy duty balls that they claim have to this date have NOT bent....I don't know how I did this I don't recall some crazy episode that would leave me to think "man I bet I just F#cked something up"

Very true Ben I will try that first, I was told it's hard to bend to begin with, don't have anything to loose.

Eric seemed pretty sure he has a bare front housing laying around... he just needed to see if he could them...

Do you really need a chromo ball? The one you just bent is 31 years old, with how many years of wheeling on it? Another stock ball will probably last longer than the rest of the truck.

I guess at this point the best thing to do is wheel it till its unable to be shimmed anymore. - but...I'm really close to that right now.
