The inner bearings are also a funky size that I could never find a match for.


I'm assuming you're using my NRR write up on the fronts, which works like a charm. Just make sure you also replace the inner rod ends in addition to the outer spherical bearing. The ones that come with it are crap like Cody said.

Finally, someone actually provided a solution. Thank you!

And you still need to machine the taper, because they dont fit correctly in the knuckle. Guess how i know ? Unless you are very lucky and they corrected that since i bought some, it is not going to engage fully in the knuckle.

If it takes someone more than an hour to modify these, I'd consider them an incompetent mechanic. And I don't know about you but I don't get paid the $200 an hour it would take to make up the difference...

And I don't know why you're still talking about the taper. I'm going to be replacing that tapered pin completely with an M18 bolt or maybe oversize to 3/4". No more taper.

Are you talking about fronts? Because the fronts are interchangeable, it's the rears that have different pick up points.
