This doesnt look right to me. Went to install new ball joints and this is what it looks like. I torqued the lower to 75ftlbs and then torqued the split sleeve to 50ftlbs. half the slpit sleeve is sticking out the bottom. Doesnt look safe to me with only a few threads holding it in. The spicers from wild horses were like this also. Maybe I bent the knuckle pressing in/out the ball joints?

Silly question first, both ball joints fully seated? Yes that is a bit more sleeve showing than I've experienced, but what is more concerning is the depth of the castle nut, can you insert the cotter pin?

Both ball joints seated fully. Castle nut is not torqued down. General consensus is either the c is spread open or I collapsed the knuckle when pressing in the new ones.

So does anyone have a 6bolt knuckle laying around? Driver side.

A new knuckle is probably easier and cheaper, but you might touch base with Josh @ Crawlertech. I know he's got the gear to straighten housings, not sure about C's or knuckles.

6 bolt, is that the drum version with a chevy conversion? If so I have a driver side for you, it may motivate me to pull the passenger side for Brett.

Yes factory 74 drum knuckle with chevy disc's. If you have one that would be awesome!!!! I removed it and you can see the knuckle is bent.

It's yours, I'll find some time over the next couple of days and yank both knuckles.
