[QUOTE="black 10th vert, post: 5845448, member: 65729"] I agree... The nuts can back off creating some "play" in the bearing. I know this from building dozens of IRS systems used for Factory 5 Cobra replicas (same components, just different shape outer knuckle). Try retorquing them first (250 ft-lbs, or so). If they do need replacing, you can not do them without a big hydraulic press, and a fixture to properly support the center of the knuckle so the arms don't get deformed. I've done some knuckles that needed 10 tons, or more pressure to get those bearings to pop free. hope this helps, Brian [/QUOTE]
