Are "Knuckles" available for our 4th gen Maximas? The guy at the alignment shop said my axels were slanted because my whip is so low. He said knuckles would solve my problem by giving me straight axels. He didn't know if they had them for my car. Slanted axels cause a lot of bouncing.

Thanks, Aaron

 

knuck if you buck
i think dude is on crack who cares about your axles they done have a differnce in the ride. maybe he was trying to talk about a camber kit or somthing unless im also on crack

 

what are knuckles btw?? i saw the new altima commercial saying it has "white knuckles".

 

He said Knuckles. I don't know exactly what they are. I have camber plates on my KSport Coilovers. He was describing the situation with his hands over his head like the axels and he was moving his body around by basically dancing. Me and my dad were cracking up...

 

See that's the thing I don't know what Kuckles are. I want to find out what he was talking about. I guess it moves the axel around?

 

i dunno, if it's not an exterior part, why would they mention "white" knuckles on the altima?

 

i hope you guys are joking about the altima commercial because they mean its just so fast that when you push the gas it will have you gripping the steering wheel so hard your knuckles will turn white LOL white knuckle driving man

 

...fo shizzle...but only in the 3.5

 

idk dude im pretty fast too lol eat 3 5's for breakfast...

 

lol........

 

in addition to being unaware of what knuckles were and by reading the first post, it kinda got me thinking it was a physical part. sorry konak for not being omnipotent like you.

 

The knuckle is mounted between the upper and lower ball joints on a SLA suspension, and between the strut and lower ball joint on a MacPherson strut suspension.

It's the thing that the actual rotating part of the suspension attaches to.

 

thank you these guys where killing me with this topic

 

Only knuckle for the car is the identical replacement unit.

The axel has constant velocity joints on either end. The constant velocity joint, or CV joint is made to transfer power continuously at an angle. There is nothing wrong with the angle of your axel on a lowered set up, the axel and CV joint will handle it just fine, even if your dropped 2". That slight angle is nothing compaired to what the axel sees when you turn your steering wheel.

The axel has nothing to do with your ride bouncing. Thats your suspension causing that.

Find another shop to work on your car.

 

THanks for all the information guys. I learned a lot! So seems like I don't need to do anything else. Just curious to see what he was talking about.

 

My Maxima has brass knuckles, so watch out.

 

well, i just usually eat a bowl of cereal or maybe some pop tarts.

 

somtimes you need a better diet of 3.5's 2.5's anything else on the road and be done with it all. domination

 

I eat my Wheateeeeeeesssss...

 

yea so now forget knucking while u buck, just buck and 4get about it lol
