Bigger Hammer
I'm starting from scratch and rebuilding the steering knuckles out to the wheel to try and solve my death wobble. Upon disassembly I realized there was hardly any drag on the knuckles. After cleaning, blasting and re painting parts I am back to assembling the knuckles. I bought new king pin bearings, and I have the pre load now set at 15lbs per side which I'm happy with. Now the problem...I just can't seem to get the darn rubber oil seal to set into place correctly (the seal between the knuckle and the felt pad). This seems like it should be such an easy task but I'm stuck. Any tips, help, comments? How do I get this seal to completely seat before bolting on the felt pad and metal brackets?
