hey guys I'm looking to service my knuckles with a kit. who's got good parts that install properly? 4crawler, trail gear? lemme know!

 

Marlin Crawler...

 

cool thanks guys! besides new brass axle spindles is there any other small parts I should buy new to replace?

 

If you're just doing the knuckles, just bearings, wipes and seals gaskets is what you need. But I would do an inner axle seal if the kit doesn't have one. I like the Marlin axle seals personally.

 

Got em here at Olympic 4x4 Supply in Snohomish WA. Trail-gear brand! Give me a call 360-568-7728 ext 19 for a deal

 

I just did one with trail gear stuff. I also did the rock rings.

Thanks dudes! But it looks like im going to have to hold off for a bit. I was hoping to redo the knuckles this weekend, then in two weeks put on new tires. However i just noticed as i left work that i have belts sticking outta the tires. So it looks like ill be holding off for a few weeks...crappy but hey, when i do the knuckles ill have new shoes and can go wheelin everywhere without worry.

 

I got the kit that came with the trail gear sas kit but ordered the marlin inner seals and used them instead. didn't like the bearings either because their China made but used them anyway. I prefer Timken. Do some homework but marlin seals and Timken bearings is the way to go. Imo

 

I just finished mine with trail gear parts. The parts seemed of decent quality, but i was disappointed that they're all Chinese made. I've had it with Chinese parts. For the price I paid I'd have rather gone with another kit. But this being a 4 day weekend and the only window I had to do all the work, I installed the kit. I imagine I'll regret it eventually.

But it's better than leaving it the way it was I guess.
