[QUOTE="ac427cobra, post: 9292066, member: 6247"] I sell remanufactured knuckle assemblies for $225 on an exchange basis: [url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/suspension-258/547820-sale-remanufactured-irs-knuckle-assemblies.html[/url] In my knuckle rebuild video: [url]http://www.fulltiltboogieracing.com/Videos/CobraIRSknucklerebuild.wmv[/url] I go through the entire knuckle rebuilding process. I also state that you want to avoid buying after market 'ball' bearings from places such as NAPA, Auto-Zone and the like. Most of these after market bearings are 'ball' bearings and they will fail MUCH sooner than the Ford double tapered roller bearings will. Your bearing failed most likely because your halfshaft retaining nut came loose. Once this happens the bearing will self distruct. If run long enough this will destroy the hub as well. In my IRS Informational Article: [url=http://www.fulltiltboogieracing.com/mystery_of_irs.htm]Mystery of IRS[/url] I state how important it is to check these regularly: IRS Maintenance One item that is frequently overlooked regarding the IRS are regular checks of the torque on the rear axle halfshaft nuts. These are the 36mm nuts that attach the halfshaft to the rear hub on the knuckle. The torque on these nuts should be checked on a regular basis. If your car never goes to a race track, four times a year should be sufficient. Torque these 36mm nuts to 240-250 ft. lbs. If you’re going to a race track, torque before EVERY event.
