steering knuckle paint?

Post by 06boblee »

Should you paint the inside of the steering knuckle? If so, what kind of paint?

well, it would seem to me that it can't be seen, and besides, with all the grease in there it is not likely to rust. Then too, perhaps the grease or friction will abrade the paint, leading to more flakes and particles mixed in the the lubrication. But it is your truck.

Back from the Rolex 24, our 15th year, went in my son't Elise. About 360 miles each way. Always a good time.

You can, but not necessary.

If you do you need to use Glyptol paint .

That's the Red coating used in gear boxes etc.
