GPM EVO knuckles, What goes in the 3 holes?

sg219 · Post by **sg219** » Tue May 16, 2006 2:00 pm

I just recieved all my GPM parts from CJ a couple of days ago!!

My problem is...

How do the knuckles hold the bearings in?

Prior, the fake brake discs and a screw was the thing in place. Now, as I'm trying to install all the GPM parts, I'm lost.

I don't have much experience with my EVO yet, so I'm sorta winging it and trying to figure it out.

What attachs to the three screw holes on the knuckles?

Is there a plate or something?

I had the same question. The answer is to throw away the fake looking disc brakes. You don't need them. Instead, there are 3 small screws per knuckle that will hold the bearings in.

I was thinking that.

But...

What keeps out debris then? There isn't a cover avalible?

Or do I just find a washer or something to put in its place?

This is how it works

Thanks.

So, then there is nothing to keep my bearings clean and smooth rolling.

I think its time for some thin plastic modifications.

I just got my VXB shielded bearings. They fit great and do eliminate a lot of wheel wobble. I hope they keep the dirt out.

I have the RS bearings and they have some nice open space.

I'll have to pick up the VXB bearings when I get my EVO car. I'll get a set for my truck too. Since they are sheilded and RS isn't.

you could probably work some magic with the stock knuckle brake disks, dremel off the 'sides' of the cover and drill holes where needed.

gpm went MRS4 with the knuckles, works but it's not pretty anyways.
