Quick shipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe stock the regular service closed knuckle parts for your 1967-1975 Ford light duty F-250 4x4 with a standard closed knuckle Dana 44 front axle which will have 8 bolt Knuckle Ball Hemisphere Seals. With a Closed Knuckle axle, the axle universal joints and king pin bearings are lubricated by very heavy oil or a viscous grease that will flow when the axle shafts rotate. A large, multi-piece seal is bolted to the backside of the steering knuckle to keep lubricant in and water out. On poorly maintained closed knuckle axles or axles equipped with lockout hubs that are rarely used in 4x4, the upper king pin bearing and axle universal joint can suffer from lack of lubrication. The Ball Seals will usually weep some lubricant especially when standard gear oils are used as a lubricant. Submersion of the axle under water or condensation from temperature changes can cause moisture to build up inside the enclosed ball and lead to corrosion damage and part failures.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"4939-tka4939-11-piece-premium-steering-knuckle-shim-kit-dana-25-44-axles","title":"TKA4939 11 Piece Premium Steering Knuckle Shim Kit Dana 25-44 Axles","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTKA4939 Premium Torque King Knuckle Shim Kit for Dana Closed Knuckle and Ford Open Knuckle Front Axles\u003c\/strong\u003e TKA4939 fits all Dana 25-Dana 44 closed Knuckle Front Axles with 8 Bolt Ball Seals and 1966-197 Ford Dana 30.

More shims decreases preload, less shims increases preload. I like to install at least one shim under each bearing cap to act as a gasket. How the shims are distributed between upper and lower caps is up to you. Rotating preload is set by the COMBINED shim pack for each knuckle. If you need a total of 0.050\" shims for your left knuckle, you can split the 0.050\" total between the upper and lower caps as you wish. Most knuckles will require from 0.045\" to 0.065\" of shims.

However, straight gear lube will almost always seep past the knuckle seal which covers the inside of the tires with oil, stains the garage floor and is unacceptable for current environmental standards.

More shims decreases preload, less shims increases preload. King Pin Caps are shimmed to put the specified turning preload on the bearings. The amount of turning preload on varies by vehicle and year but the value is measured by a beam or dial type torque wrench (refer to the vehicle manufacturer Service Manual for your specific model specification or if a manual is unavailable, see Tech Note 7). Too loose can cause poor steering or \"Death Wobble\", too tight will lead to rapid bearing failure, broken parts, and possible steering loss.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"note9\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Note 9:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShims and Preload 2 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Knuckle Bearings MUST be shimmed to provide correct knuckle turning preload.

More shims decreases preload, less shims increases preload. I like to install at least one shim under each bearing cap to act as a gasket. How the shims are distributed between upper and lower caps is up to you. Rotating preload is set by the COMBINED shim pack for each knuckle. If you need a total of 0.050\" shims for your left knuckle, you can split the 0.050\" total between the upper and lower caps as you wish. Most knuckles will require from 0.045\" to 0.065\" of shims.

What I used to do, was mix SAE 250 weight gear lube with grease to make a semi-liquid lubricant which will flow into the bearings and u-joints, but not seep significantly past the seals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"note7\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Note 7:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShims \u0026amp; Preload 1 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShims are used between the King Pin Caps and Steering Knuckles to set your Knuckle Bearing\/Bushing turning preload. More shims decreases preload, less shims increases preload. King Pin Caps are shimmed to put the specified turning preload on the bearings. The amount of turning preload on varies by vehicle and year but the value is measured by a beam or dial type torque wrench (refer to the vehicle manufacturer Service Manual for your specific model specification or if a manual is unavailable, see Tech Note 7). Too loose can cause poor steering or \"Death Wobble\", too tight will lead to rapid bearing failure, broken parts, and possible steering loss.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"note8\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Note 8:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShims and Preload 2 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Knuckle Bearings MUST be shimmed to provide correct knuckle turning preload.

You can also use whatever lubricant specified in your original Operators Manual. If the vehicle manufacturer recommended steering knuckle lubricant is not available, Dana recommends SAE 140 grade gear lubricant for the knuckles. However, straight gear lube will almost always seep past the knuckle seal which covers the inside of the tires with oil, stains the garage floor and is unacceptable for current environmental standards. What I used to do, was mix SAE 250 weight gear lube with grease to make a semi-liquid lubricant which will flow into the bearings and u-joints, but not seep significantly past the seals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"note7\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Note 7:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShims \u0026amp; Preload 1 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShims are used between the King Pin Caps and Steering Knuckles to set your Knuckle Bearing\/Bushing turning preload. More shims decreases preload, less shims increases preload. King Pin Caps are shimmed to put the specified turning preload on the bearings. The amount of turning preload on varies by vehicle and year but the value is measured by a beam or dial type torque wrench (refer to the vehicle manufacturer Service Manual for your specific model specification or if a manual is unavailable, see Tech Note 7). Too loose can cause poor steering or \"Death Wobble\", too tight will lead to rapid bearing failure, broken parts, and possible steering loss.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"note8\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Note 8:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShims and Preload 2 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Knuckle Bearings MUST be shimmed to provide correct knuckle turning preload.

You can also use whatever lubricant specified in your original Operators Manual. If the vehicle manufacturer recommended steering knuckle lubricant is not available, Dana recommends SAE 140 grade gear lubricant for the knuckles. However, straight gear lube will almost always seep past the knuckle seal which covers the inside of the tires with oil, stains the garage floor and is unacceptable for current environmental standards. What I used to do, was mix SAE 250 weight gear lube with grease to make a semi-liquid lubricant which will flow into the bearings and u-joints, but not seep significantly past the seals.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"note7\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Note 7:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShims \u0026amp; Preload 1 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShims are used between the King Pin Caps and Steering Knuckles to set your Knuckle Bearing\/Bushing turning preload. More shims decreases preload, less shims increases preload. King Pin Caps are shimmed to put the specified turning preload on the bearings. The amount of turning preload on varies by vehicle and year but the value is measured by a beam or dial type torque wrench (refer to the vehicle manufacturer Service Manual for your specific model specification or if a manual is unavailable, see Tech Note 7). Too loose can cause poor steering or \"Death Wobble\", too tight will lead to rapid bearing failure, broken parts, and possible steering loss.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ca name=\"note8\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Note 8:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eShims and Preload 2 \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Knuckle Bearings MUST be shimmed to provide correct knuckle turning preload.
