I've worked on quite a few of these axles (all were LHS vehicles), and never come across the bracket you have in the photos with the knuckle. Is it possible Dana or the supplier who put that axle under the vehicle added the bracket to adapt the typically LHS axle to RHS? I'm assuming the steering arm bolts to the top of that bracket.

In any case, that knuckle looks identical to every other one I've seen on a closed knuckle Dana. If that's the case, I think a used knuckle should be easy to locate.

many thanks FORDMAN, i look forward to the pics...

have tried a early jeep knuckle but isnt as beefy, kingpin bolts are a diferrant size, there is an additional 4mm slop on the inside of the knuckle, ie up&down, tie-rod hole is smaller and it is 4mm shorter in depth which reduces turning circle and rubs on the shocky....
