Went to go out wheelin the other weekend and noticed that my steering arm on the pass was falling off.Try to tightin it up an the holes in the top of the knuckle stripped 
.So I took the knuckle off and took it up to the shop for repairs,and to add a fifth stud.
knuckle with the 1/2" helicoils installed and a boss for the fifth stud welded in place.
inside
Steering arm with a tab welded on it for the fifth stud.
bottom of the arm
Knuckle with the steering arm sitting in place
I also had troubles with keeping my hub on.Keep breaking the 8mm studs off and the 1/4" dowls.So I took and fire the little cone washers in the woods.Drilled and taped the wheel hub to take a 3/8" grade 8 bolts,and drilled out the locking hub (where the cone washers were)to 1/2" and made some little inserts to take there place.Also replaced the 1/4" dowls with 5/16" dowls.
Not a very good pic,but here it is all together.I'll get some better pics in a couple of weeks when I get my new hub gears from Mr. longfield.
