Also, to answer your question about how to do the tapered hole, you can either use a reamer, or drill straight through and put a tapered insert in...as to which one he did, I don't know, LOL

everyone was new at some point xjlimited don't take it offensively. assuming that i don't know what i am doing was pretty harsh considering you have no idea. xj wonders you did a awesome job, did you drill out the factory tapered balljoint hole? and what do you have running through it now?

I wouldn't put a 3/4" bolt in a stock D30 knuckle. 5/8" is the biggest I would put in there. It's only 1/8" difference but it removes a good bit of material and weakens the knuckle that much more. Ruffstuffs website even says so ..!.. ..!..
Also, this is CF... The "big boys" are on NAXJA and pirate. Lol
It's just 4 welds burn that stuff together.
