Original 427 Street Cobra Suspension Rebuild

I am not sure what a rear drive knuckle is?

You are right, however on your next post. There is a rear hub, front hub, and a front axle.

You win the first question.

Bonus question?

Why do we have a front hub AND a front axle in the oven?

Still open--alloy and heat treat specs????

Is it something to do with the hard steel (bullet proof) fasteners you are using? The hub and the spindle have to be equally hard to avoid erosion?

mylesdw,

Actually increasing hardness generally increases the risk of corrosion. The reason we have both front hubs and front spindles in our oven is because we have our own front hubs we use on our billet suspension along with the front spindles for original Cobra restorations (and our very early cars that ran that suspension).
