Hey guys dose anyone know if 1985 Dana 30 knuckles can be swaped on to 1988 corp 10 bolt. I read u can but don't know anyone that has and we all know u can't always believe what u read. Thanks for your time.
 
I don't know, but I really have to know WHY :confused: would you be doing this.
 
yea...why would you want to do this? I'd think you'd actually lose strength overall. The Dana 30 isn't well regarded as a strong axle...
 
Cause i already have Dana 30 high steer knuckles hiems and hevey duty tierods on my Dana 30 . Thats whats in my jeep but im swapping to acorp 10bolt and 14bolt and i need a high steer knuckle for the corp10. Im trying not to spend 300 on a new knuckle.
 
ahh I see, makes sence now. :chug:
 
I'm going to say most likely not.

The 10bt uses knuckles similar to the Dana 44 . In fact, I think they might even interchange.

The Dana 30 uses smaller and weaker knuckles than the Dana 44 . In fact, the modern Rubicon front "Dana 44 " uses the same tubes and outers as the Dana 30 and is a known weak spot in that axle. It's really just a Dana 30 with a bigger pumpkin.
