Re: what happens when you break a knuckle?

Thanks for the offer, but I am too far away. I just snugged the studs into the knuckle with a double nut like Brian E says to. Then I tightened the nuts to 130#. 6 out of 8 anyway  :shake_head:

Thats good to hear about the 6 shooters.

So I am trying to make sense of this, there are:
 
Steering stud failures
Knuckle cracking in half
Trunnion bearing failures

Do all of these stem from the same thing? I am trying to figure out how all these happen. Or are they just one of those things that when :pokinit: gets gnarly stuff explodes  :shocking:
