Trail-Gear Super Metal Knuckle Stud Hardware Kit

For Toyota Solid Front Axle Knuckles & Trail-Gear Six Shooter Knuckles


Overview

The Trail-Gear Super Metal Knuckle Stud Hardware Kit provides upgraded steering-knuckle studs and hardware for both factory Toyota solid front axle knuckles and Trail-Gear Six Shooter knuckles.

The Super Metal studs are 1/4 inch longer than stock Toyota knuckle studs, providing additional thread engagement and clearance for aftermarket steering arms. They feature proprietary metal construction, a zinc-plated finish for corrosion resistance, and strength exceeding Class 12.9 standards.

These studs can be used as an upgrade for the original Toyota solid-axle knuckle hardware or as replacement hardware for a Trail-Gear Six Shooter knuckle. Six Shooter knuckles are not required to use this kit.
