WJ Steering Knuckles with Reversible Tapered Inserts
Upgrade your steering setup with a pair of brand-new OEM WJ Grand Cherokee steering knuckles, modified to accept our included reversible tapered inserts. These knuckles are a core component of our WJ Knuckle Swap Package, but are also available separately for custom builds and existing WJ owners looking to convert to over-the-knuckle (OTK) steering without modifying their original knuckles.
The factory steering taper locations have been straight-drilled to accept the included tapered inserts, which match the factory Jeep steering taper used across the XJ, ZJ, TJ, and WJ platforms. The inserts can be flipped to accommodate either over-the-knuckle (OTK) or under-the-knuckle (UTK) steering configurations.
