I actually talked about that in another video. NWF recommended letting the studs be in shear instead of transferring the load into the knuckle in the event a stud loosens up. They seemed to think that that kind of load could lead to knuckle failure instead of shearing studs. I am sure either way is fine but this was what my machining abilities were comfortable with.
@@OldIronOffroad Thanks for the reply. I guess I missed or did not recall that explanation. Still, strange reasoning on NWF's part. The key would prevent stud shear. They are looking to build in a failure point? Then I have to wonder about the 5 bolt knuckles and their purpose. I understand the machining skill issue especially with that round column rong fu mill, lol. Thanks for the vids!
Thanks for always taking the time to share some of the techniques and installations.
No problem!! Thanks for watching!!
These videos are great.
Love watching your work!
Thank you!!
Loving the build series! Why not mill a keyway in the high steer arms?

That's going to be a pure beef front end. What's the plan for axle shafts?
chromoly 1.5 inch 35 spline stuff
Nice work! 💪
Thanks man!!
