Showing off my DC bling bling

[fumanchu182]

Yes these are the zero camber DC knuckles


Some assembly required

Damn....glad I didn't go that far!

 

[GNBRETT]

So DC products are available? Which one are not?

 

[Unholy707]

I need to get those. Strange they don’t install the metal bushing/collar

Why? Changing out most things on these cars are not that hard. I think people that don't even know how to change their oil want to make upgrades and start the rumors everything is hard. You can change the arms out without dropping the cradle out of the car if you do one side at a time

I had my knuckles off to put new hubs and longer wheel studs in, very easy to do. Rush I got these though, they come with new hubs

You don't even have to touch a cradle bolt NOR cut the pinch if your blade is long enough to bend.

I cut the bolt and flipped it. Easy peasy.

If you are fine doing that. It would have taken me longer to cut the bolt off. Not sure how you reused the cut bolt

If you order from AAD and select the option they'll include new hardware for you.

Took less effort with a good blade to just whack thru em vs dropping the cradle far enough to release that bolt.

If you lockout cradle and diff at the same time you have to drop the cradle far enough for it to not matter.

I still haven't done the diff yet. I have enough spare parts to even lock out the DIRS.

Don’t lock out the diff, cradle is enough. The front brace to restrict pinion angle movement is enough, if you have it

I do remember you could get the bolts. For some reason never goes like it should when cutting bolts off so I just unbolted a few things and it went fine

The cradle is easy to lock out and that front brace transmits a lot of gear noise, took mine off

If you can ever get the rubber to stay put. Mine is either half out or completely gone. Haven't looked in a few months.

You can lock it out, but you’ll find the weakest link very quick or blow up the case

If I remember right I locked out the front of the diff along with the race brace but never wanted to drop the cradle to do the back half.

So it's like 50% locked and has the DIRS at the rear.
