Default Steering knuckles-1992 Cherokee

I have been searching the net for a quality set of steering knuckles at a reasonable price...any suggestions?

I found a set made by "Crown" parts mfg. but have never used their parts before...any experience or input about "Crown"?

Amazingly, after 290k miles my pads have worn into the steering knuckle, leaving a nice groove for my pads to get stuck in...imagine that.

Time to service them. I just installed new brakes all the way around and it would be a complete waste if I left those worn down knuckles on there.

Just like stated above, weld in the grooves and grind flat.
