    Hey Guys, Attached is the 2 hole knuckle I inherited with my new Dana 30 I want to refurbish.
    What do you think? I am planning on a tie rod flip (I think welded inserts). Should I try to find a new knuckle? Is the hole on this one too gouged up? Thank you.
    On a side note: when changing the D30 with drum brakes to disk does that also mean I should/could change the hub/rotor bearings and cups? I read that they are different for drums and disks. Stands to reason I should but thought to ask. Cheers

    To use the tie rod flip inserts you will need to drill a 3/4" hole. If its beyond that you'll need to find another.
