im very interested in this im full hydro already with the 6 stud knuckes ive thought about going this route but i dont want to weaken the arms by welding to them because they are cast
No not the same at all. Cast is liquid metal poured into a mold and forged is red hot metal that is beat into a desired shape. Imagine air bubbles in the cast and not in the forged.
Hyjack for a sec., what is it when they are cut out of a solid block?
I believe its Billet
taco runner since they are forged can i weld to them without any trouble? thanks for all the good info!
I have Marlin arms and dont think it would weaken them by tigging some 1/4 4130 plate to the top and out side of the arm with some gussets between the top and bottom. That way it would sandwich a 3/4x5/8 heim and i think more steering angle could be obtained by going with a 7" or 8" ram. If longs are good to 40 degrees i might as well use it. Plus i might be able to get some original 6 stud marlin arms and just tig the 4x4 labs blocks on my stock knuckles. Billet 6 studs Marlin arms with arp studs and double shear arms would be sweet.
Its the knuckle thats the limiter not the birf, and 6 stud arms dont do you as much good as MC's 25mm stud upgrade. I know it sucks but there has been some tech on Pirate about it. Its was amazing to see a steering arm pin break in half and still have all 6 studs still in tact and unbent. I would never have belived it but its true the pin breaks before the studs. I'll see if I can find it and post here for you guys to see.
My front axle will go more before the felts hit the balls but my toyota steerig ox doent have enough throw.
