Title: Steering arm bolts
Post by: Watson210 on May 02, 2017, 04:24:35 pm
So 2 of the 3 bolts holding on my steering arm have sheared off. Anyone know where I can get replacements as well as any tips on removing them?

I am going to assume you are talking about the 3 studs on the left hand steering knuckle of a K-10/20 series?

If so, you won't like my advice but if it were my truck I would replace the knuckle, studs, and steering arm. If the truck is lifted this means buying a lift kit compensated steering arm.

Expensive, I know, but WAY more safe in the long run.

im with engineer, if thats what youre talking about. ive swapped knuckles before just because of the amount of work to remove the studs and the damage you could do to the knuckle in the process of removing the studs. i wouldnt buy new i would get one from the junk yard with the arm already attached, if its for a lifted truck then you would just have to get a new arm
