I need to put a used steering knuckle on my 98 XJ and had a few questions I hoped someone might offer some advice on.
Does it make a difference if the weight is relieved off the suspension or not when loosening/tightening the tie rod to knuckle nut and upper and lower knuckle nuts?
There doesn't appear to be enough downward clearance to allow the knuckle to slide off the balls because the ujoint looking thing (name?) that turns the hub is in the way. Does this pull out if I separate the hub bearing assembly and brake shield from the knuckle?
Is there any special technique to ensure the ujoint looking thing properly seats in the hub bearing assembly when I'm putting things back together.
Thanks for any insights.
