Part Two - JK Steering Upgrades - Reid Racing Knuckles Installation and Reid vs OEM Overview

[@MrFivepointfivesix]

Awesome build 👍 and All that done in your Driveway , after a frozen header bolt 😱 I've been using Antiseeze on just about every bolt that comes out of my Jeep anymore.

[@christophermichaelson9050]

Looking forward to the discussion re: anti-seize and thread locker. Agree that marine-grade is the way to go (for everything on the Jeep, actually).

[@thomasrossi31]

I think you chose those knuckles because they match the Jeep!

[@o3djeeps]

Thomas Rossi maybe a little.... haha

[@DanMcD80]

Set old knuckles on a flat surface and with a mini level measure up to top of stock knuckle stops and file down reid's with that measurement

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

Great work!

[@ThatGuyMike]

Looks good!

[@aermotors]

While these are a nice to have, no one tells you how BAD it makes your steering! By moving up the drag link the physics changed and the steering gets very hard-especially with 35” and larger tires. My JK became nearly unbearable after doing a high steer on 37s with stock steering box. Later upgraded to the full PSC XD kit and that made it better than ever.

[@DanMcD80]

between the unit bearing and the knuckle would have been a good place for anti-seize to prevent having to drive it off down the road

[@o3djeeps]

Dan M ha...funny I thought about that after the fact. Lol. I think you're right...

[@DanMcD80]

Grew up in NH aka salt belt and how I woulda put it back together before it all rusts up

[@85cj74cyl]

Why didn't you put the dust plate back on??

[@tcr73903]

What size lift were you running at this time? What are your thoughts with running this after driving it for a while....I have a drag link flip kit and I am considering these.

[@jamesblevins1558]

Great install video thanks for sharing.

[@lloydrage]

For some reason I thought you upgraded the front axle housing.

[@stitch1007]

I must have missed the why.... I think I would have upgraded to RCVs and a PSC big bore before changing out an already beefy steering system.

[@MSTrishRN]

Very nice knuckle! Did you luck up with the orange? Or does Ried make them to order in your choice of color?

[@o3djeeps]

MSTrishRN just luck!!!

[@liam_jess]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you cannot use these if you don’t have a flipped drag link and a high mount tire rod setup?

[@o3djeeps]

+Ljr Kelly standard tierod but high steer draglink

[@liam_jess]

o3djeeps [ OVERCLOCK3D Jeeps ] ok, because I’ve been adding things to my build list looked at these knuckles and thought welp can’t do it because I have the Teraflex 3” lift and heavy duty drag link and tie rod

[@o3djeeps]

Ljr Kelly yeah... You'd have to get their flip kit or another top mount draglink. Which is a good idea even if you don't switch knuckles.

[@jambeatsjeeps2586]

no dust shield?

[@MARC11B]

Anyone know if these Reid Knuckles work with the Yeti XD no drill top mount drag link and Tie Rod?

[@o3djeeps]

Marc Sachs should work fine.

[@franciscotavarez4138]

Stabilizer chock where you put Kent see vidio

[@o3djeeps]

Francisco Tavarez I'll get to that

[@Wap4life]

What grease are you using?

[@o3djeeps]

[@Wap4life]

Are you Racing you Knuckle?

[@danhambrick6331]

Wow!!!600 bucks for a pair of knuckles.....

[@o3djeeps]

I didn't say any of this was cheap! lol

[@charlesbickel4295]

Yup. Not worth it.

[@2015_Rubicnn]

How much should they be? You could develop some steering knuckles of your own , cast them, machine them etc and sell them way cheaper. Let us know how that works out.😎

[@franciscotavarez4138]
