Ok, so anyone know the difference between the early and late Knuckles? (other than ABS and Non-ABS) are the mounting ears for the calipers different? ball joints or tire rod different? I'm rebuilding the front suspension and need to get knuckles since my are pretty rusty.

Already have new upper and lower control arms ordered and rebuilt Raybestos calipers. So wondering If I have to limit my search to 93-95 for the knuckles.

Since they are not a wear item you could get them sand blasted and paint them up. As crusty as they look they would be ok. By that time you'll be installing new bearings too so get them ordered up Smile

The late knuckles have larger holes for the larger calipers to mount to....... maybe a good time to update to larger brakes if you find a set. Smile
