FYI,
those "CNC" knuckles wont last ANY Longer than the stock cast ones. WHY? becasue they are cast first - then CNC'd a little to clean them up, and then anodized blue. No stronger o better metal is used, and I ve got a baggie full of wasted ones I can prove it with.
The PBS conversion is about the same cost, and wont fail you. That is the far better investment.

| Actually the knuckle that broke was the CNC ones from nitrohouse they were about a week old, going to get the PBS now, luckily It was the opposite knuckle that i had broken originally so now i have 1 CNC and 1 cast on it. not pretty but it works, that was until i bent the rear driveshaft into a V and sheared of the rear dogbone the next week. Hey I think if your not beating on it your not driving it LOL |

nightcrawler - I bet they will trade them CNC's in for a PBS conversion and you pay the price difference if any ... and shipping. You might ask.
Good Luck.
Better to know now than after you BREAK THEM |

Everyone is a little different. The PBS has it's weakness as does the CNC knuckles. The thing to do is use what works best for you. Everybody has a slightly different driving style. I have broke the s#@t out of C-Hubs king pins and PBS suspensions before. Here is the best advice I've seen given on this subject:DON'T HIT ANYTHING AND YOUR PARTS WON'T BREAK.
