So the rear knuckles for the Consulier have been modified to accept a Pontiac Fiero brake caliper....and we can't have anything Pontiac on this car....

I'm looking for 2 good rear knuckles. 85-89 k car.

Shipped to 17340.

Thanks.

Mike

Rear knuckles?

That's what I thought. For the turbo Mopar cars, it's more like a back plate and spindle rather than a knuckle. I don't know squat about the Consuliers though.

I think he needs front knuckles, which are what was used on the rear of his Consulier.

If I could find some 91+ knuckles you could have mine off my 85 GLH. I have NOS mopar wheel bearings too.

Has to be k car knuckles. I have some 91 knuckes but saving those as backups for #168.

Unless you do have k car knuckles on the glh then we can swap :). You'd get the preferred knucles also i just cant use them on the Consulier.

My knuckles are in great shape and do not need bearings. I also have the other items you need for the swap. Front and rear.

Lmk.

If I can find them, I'd sell you the originals off my 86 K wagon turbo, I upgraded them to 94 units...

Shoot me a PM with whatever you feel is a fair price.

^^ thanks^^ price is kinda driven by condition.

I have a possible lead on a pair of new ones. If that doesnt pan out could you get some pics?

On ebay they are selling from $35 to $70 each and most with free shipping.

They certainly aren't new, but seem to be in good, though dirty shape, I'd be fine with $30.00 each and a free ride, if you don't score the new ones.

Let me know where, and I'll send some pictures.
