FJ80 Hellfire High Steer Knuckles High-steer knuckle set for 1991–1997 FJ80 axles with 25mm trunnions and D60 studs These knuckles add true high steer to the FJ80 axle using reinforced castings, 6-stud steering arm retention, and a shimless set-screw preload system. Arms are pre-tapered for FJ80 tie-rod ends and can be reamed for GM 1-ton TREs or heim steering; each arm is double-tapered for left- or right-hand drive. Stud layout increases spacing to reduce leverage on the arms, and the lower cap is counterbored to protect hardware for reliable clamping under load. The assembly uses 25mm trunnion pins and bearings for higher load capacity, with outer four Dana 60 studs (Grade 10.9) and two inner 1/2" Allen bolts (Grade 14) securing each arm. On stock FJ80 suspension, track bar relocation is required to clear the tie rod and correct drag link angle in a high-steer position. ABS sensors and brake backing plates are not retained due to knuckle thickness, and wheel backspacing must not exceed 4.5".
