These do not go bad very often.What year is your Rubicon and how many miles do you have on it?


$385 for the steering knuckle, $275 for installation.
$130 for trackbar, ~$100 for installation, etc, $etc$, $etc$.

I took the used steering knuckle home w/me. The shop told me it looked as if I damaged it on a rock while Jeeping, but this seemed a little far-fetched. The knuckle was not offered to me after the repair, but when I retrieved it 1/2 an hr. later, everyone looked nervous. The Rubicon is an '03 w/ 106K mi. on the Odo.

I can't find the invoice, but I will give an itemization when I locate it.

WOW!!!!! $385.00 for the steering knuckle?????????!!!!!!!!.I hope it came with a big jar of vasaline. The labor to install is about what I figured. But $385.00 for a $100.00 to $125.00 part thats nuts. Rock damage on a steering knuckle that is protected by a tire and wheel ???????? I have driven the Rubicon and Fordice Trails many times and have never damaged a steering knuckle,maybe a tie rod or two or ten.
