I need a front passenger side knuckle for my 03 wrx. Looking to pick up ASAP. When attempting to change a ball joint the bolt holding it in broke off into the knuckle. I will try drilling it out but if it doesn't work I will need a new one. Let me know what u have
I'm almost positive I can get that bolt out for you. If not I can drill it larger and helicoil it for you. Shoot me a pm of you are Interested I'm in st paul.
I'm out of town untill Saturday afternoon but I'd like to check it out! Based on my research the 04 STI front knuckle is the exact same so it should work. I tried to drill it out and it didn't end well. I should have let someone who knows what they are doing mess with it. I ended up not drilling straight making the metal paper thin where it pinches around the ball joint. I'm driving on it but its not safe. If I have the same problem with the knuckle I pick up, which I hear is a common problem, ill let you know. I bought a rear knuckle from u a few monthes back. If the one in my town falls through I will be shooting you a txt.
I have a sandblasted knuckle, in Eden Prairie, would need bearings installed (I also have new bearings and seals). I thought the STI and WRX knuckles were different?
From what I read on NASIOC in multiple threads 04 sti front knuckles are identical to 03 wrx but the rear knuckles are different. There is alot of crap on that site so I could be wrong but I saw it in a few places. Thanks another option in case the other few don't work out.
I guess it would make sense being different because of the brembo brake calipers/brackets. I guess I'll have to look some more
