Question about knuckle steering - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JoeKan · 07-21-2018, 01:42 PM

Can someone tell me what is leaking here and how to fix it? I'm thinking its the knuckle steering (on both right and left side) but now sure because I don't know too much about this. This is on my 1968 International Harvester Travelall.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Joe

That's a closed knuckle front and it uses "wiper" type seals. They always leak... Google Closed axle Knuckle Pudding and learn what to put back in. LOL

The whole front end probably needs replacing

[The whole front end probably needs replacing ]......
I would...
I swapped mine out ...a chevy 10 bolt will for the most part fit...youll have to figure out steering and the chevy was wider than my IH axle....but the spring perches fit as well as the u-joint....but my front d-shaft is a little to long .....
