I need a right hand steering knuckle for a Dana 30 on my Grand Cherokee.
I've checked, and I could pull the knuckle off of my Rubicon (yeah its got D30 outers, you haters) but I'd rather not do that. By my math the following will fit...
2001-90 JEEP CHEROKEE, 1998-93 GRAND CHEROKEE, 1993 GRAND WAGONEER, 1990 WAGONEER, 1992-90 COMANCHE, 2006-90 WRANGLER
Let me know what you got. Thanks

Where the caliper bolts to the knuckle, one of the holes is stripped. I have a very nice Jose engineered work around, but now I think I'm going to try and Heli-coil the hole.

Ok Lee I have something for you...I bought it when it was 25 bucks. Might be a little more now but I know what's in the kit....I've used it to fix the same problem with a stripped caliper bolt on my TJ's steering knuckle. I have a list of the components so you can make you own to fix your steering knuckles.
Knuckle Saver Kit (Kit works for TJ, XJ, ZJ, YJ) This list is enough to fix both knuckles.

Edit...Even better I have a list of materials and directions complete with pictures!
Here's what you need:
(4) Threaded inserts 8mmx1.25
(1) 1/2"-13 Hand Tap
(4) M8x1.25.70mm Caliper Bolts
(1) 271 Red Liquid Loctite
(1) 27/64 Drill Bit (Straight or Reduced Shank)
