Thank you, I never thought that knuckle can be worn. After how many miles it usually happens? And can you apply some grease on the attaching bolts (not on threads for nuts (on threads I'll put Blue Threadlocker), on that cylindrical part which goes inside of the knuckle)? We are in Texas, but after I removed those bolts, they were all slightly covered w/rust, especially by the head of the bolt. And I removed them before not longer then 1.5 years ago. I cleaned them, painted the heads. The rest of the bolt I wiped out w/PB Blaster, installed, but forgot to apply a bit of grease on them as planned before, like green Lucas, or Green 101 (they both have NLGI #2). I'm in doubts, if you are actually are supposed to apply that grease there, maybe it will leak on the threads and it could cause some problems, like it will effect that threadlocker or smth. I would appreciate any opinion on this matter.

Any symptoms while driving?

What about bent spindle where the wheel bearing mates? Sort of tricky to hold it and check...
