i wanna change my whole front end steering system...

tie rods
tie rod ends
ball joint
knukle/spindle what ever they call it...

i just cant find a new knukle, ive looked on rockauto but i cant find 'em?

i want to change them so it looks clean...

you could get them sand blasted too no?

ya i could but then id have to get painted/powdercoated...

might be chraper/easier to just buy new ones....

John you can buy a little sand blaster at Princess Auto real cheap and do it your self. Then prime the parts with epoxy and paint with an automotive quality enamal. You don't care if it's a glass finish or not. If you buy new stuff the paint is just going to flake off anyway because they don't care when those parts are originally painted. Come down here and I'll take you to a yard where all the parts won't be more than 30-50 bucks tops. You'll have to muscle the parts off of course but then you can take your time preping and painting them.
