Six Shooter Knuckle Kit
$282.00
Over a year in development and testing, this new knuckle design sets a new standard in Toyota knuckle strength and reliability. This kit totally eliminates the problem of broken steering knuckles and studs. The addition of two studs in each arm effectively prevents the steering arm from becoming loose and shearing off the studs. The knuckle housing is also thicker than stock and larger gussets have been added around the outside of the knuckle for extra strength. Precision CNC machined, each knuckle is direct bolt on, heavy duty replacement.
Six Shooter Knuckles are sold as a pair and include our set of special 6 hole shims for use between the top of the knuckle and the steering arm. Also included is a 1/2" coarse thread bolt to help remove the steering arms for knuckle service. To remove the steering arms, remove all 6 nuts, then install the bolt in the top of the arm. As the bolt is tightened, the steering arm is pulled up off the knuckle. Stock lower bearing plates and shims from your old knuckles are needed for knuckle assembly. A minimum of four additional steering arm studs are needed for installation. No questions asked, lifetime warranty on all knuckles, arms, rod ends and rods.
Knuckle and steering arms are sold separately. In order to install all six studs, both knuckles and steering arm kits are required.

Knuckle Pull Scale
$12.00
A pull scale is helpful in setting up the shims on a knuckle. By increasing the shims above and below the knuckle the knuckle becomes tighter. When installing new knuckle bearings we recommend checking the shims with a pull scale. Attach the pull scale on the steering arm with the tie rod / drag link removed and the felt on the back side of the knuckle not yet installed. The knuckle should not move until about 15 lbs of force is applied to the steering arm.

Tacoma Rock Assault™ Power Steering Kit
$0.00
Tacoma 2.7L PS Pump Kit
Tacoma 3.4L PS Pump Kit
After you have completed the solid axle swap on your 95-04 Tacoma, you will need to upgrade your power steering pump so that you can turn those big tires on the trail. The stock pump works well enough for the stock IFS and stock tires, but once you put on larger tires the pump will not be able to put out enough volume to turn them fast enough, especially if you have a ram assist system installed.
Trail-Gear has developed power steering upgrade kits for the 2.7L and the 3.4L Tacoma that include all the brackets, hoses, and hardware that you will need to do the install right the first time. Each kit includes an all steel TC style pump. The pump in the 2.7L kit puts out 4 GPM of flow at 1,450 PSI of pressure. The pump in the 3.4L kit puts out 4.5 GPM of flow at 1,650 PSI of pressure. The higher output offered by these pumps will improve your steering capabilities and allow you to take on the extreme off road trails that solid axle Tacomas are known for frequenting.
Available Options:
- Tacoma Rock Assault™ Power Steering Kit, 2.7L, 130101-1-KIT, $446
- Tacoma Rock Assault™ Power Steering Kit, 3.4L, 130105-1-KIT, $576
