Rear knuckle complete exchange service?
Evening all,now this is just a thought I’m having at this stage,but if it’s not within the rules please feel free to remove it
Ok the rear knuckles/wheelbearings are always a struggle and soak up a lot of time for the average home diy mechanic so what if you could buy the complete knuckle with new bearings bushes ready to fit on an exchange basis there’s a bit of thought process needed in the exchange side of things but would this be something of interest and what sort of price would you realistically be willing to pay roughly.
Below is a cost of parts needed.
Knuckle £209
All other parts £176 that Incs new brake back plate
So what ever you do it’s going to cost around £176 in parts so if you could have this all made and ready to fit would there be any interest in this
What you would get is a complete rear knuckle that’s been sandblasted painted black and new bearing,top and bottom bushes,new back plates.
Any feedback good or bad welcome.Wanted D4s non runners pm for competitive price.

Woody its what I do now anyway, I have a spare set and when the customer wants a new one, I just refurbish the old complete Knuckle, with bushes and wheel bearings and new back plates.. It actually saves the customer some money as the job does not take as long to complete.

Hi Flack yes I’ve been doing the same saves a load of time just thought must things can be done if confidant by the owners but these are about the only thing most can’t do at home maintenance wise it was just a thought as I’ve not seen anyone offering this service

Guys
What’s the cost per side on an exchange basis?
Per my post, it’s a job I need to do but without a big press it’s beyond most DIY mechanics, myself included. To be able to get the knuckle completely refurbished and ready to fit would be a game changer. Well for me it would be.D3 - 2008.5MY HSE, Stornaway Grey, RSE etc - all the toys

Hello all,
Sorry to bring up an old post, but I'm in the market for refurbished rear spindles - for an '05 Discovery 3 TDV6.
I'm in Liverpool but happy to drive and collect.
I'm wondering if someone's still providing an exchange service in the Northwest area?
Plan is to fit them during a rear lower suspension refurb - rear uppers were done by Flack 3 odd years ago
Thanks,
John
