Hi All,

I have a set of front alloy knuckles. I can't recall who made them but they are NOT GPM's. They're the kind that have the screw on bearing cover. Anyway, dimension wise they seem to slightly increase the offset of my wheels to the point that they rub against the front fender walls on both my 350Z body and my newer 65 mustang body. If I use the stock knuckles no problem. With these alloys also, I have to use the 3 degree tie-rod arm or I get noticeable toe-out too.

Anyway, my question is...has anyone noticed this with the GPM Evo knuckles? My hope is that they are more true to the stock knuckle dimensions.

BTW - this is an EVO chassis I'm working with here...

Thanks for any comments!

Mark

I believe you have the hot racing knuckles? GPM's should work fine. I only have gpm front/rear lower arms and cvds all around(dogbone and axle stub combo) All are from GPM and work great i think the knuckles would as well.

Thanks FF2! I think I will give the GPM's a try - I would like alloy knuckles for the durability but I don't want to have to open the fender radius up and ruin the stock appearence of my mustang body ;-)
