Hey guys, Has anyone ever changed a Drivers side Steering knuckle.

I found a 90 RX-7 in other wise good condition, but it brushed a curb and the Steering knuckle has been bent.
Any advice or imput is great thanks much!

 

Mine was bent from a curb impact, too. Very easy to change. Remove the tie rod end. Remove the caliper (don't disconnect the hydraulic hose) and associated mounting hardware. Remove the hub. Disconnect the knuckle (spindle) from the two strut mounting bolts. Remove the pinch bolt from the ball joint. (or the two bolts holding the ball joint to the A-arm, if the pinch bolt won't let go. You may have to put it in a vice to get the knuckel out of the ball joint.) That's about it.

 

Thanks much for the info!

 

Sorry to bring up an old thread but i've been searching on how to do this.

I have my brake calipers and lines off and everything. Basically all i need to do is remove the strut and tie rod ends using a puller? is there a DIY for this somewhere? I'm going to replace both front knuckles on my FC and want to make sure i have all parts/tools required before i start

 

Download the Factory Service Manual. Doesn't get much more step by step than that.
