In this video I Install the WJ Knuckles and Brakes on my Jeep Cherokee XJ while setting up OTK high steer and a wheel alignment.
I have wanted to do a WJ steering knuckle and brake swap for the last two years and I finally have all the parts to do the build. My Jeep is a RHD so It took some time to locate part 5012517AB which I found in Russia and was kindly sent over.
In this video I do the knuckle and brake swap, set up a one ton high steer setup, a wheel alignment and build some high steer sway bar brackets. Its a complete install from start and almost to finish. I'm waiting on some inner axle sleeves, outer seals and inner seals to complete the build and that will be in the next video.
