Re: steering knockle need help asap!

Spread the a-arms apart and slip it on the ball joint studs. Not sure what else to tell you. Maybe some more details on what you are doing would help.

i think he may be talking about the joint that attached the steering collum to the rack and pinion..all them i have done went on fine..slide it up on the steering collum part first and thenget the bottom to sit on its spot..you have to have the wheels in the right place as it will only go on one way

Re: steering knockle need help asap!

You don't mean the steering knuckle, then (your front wheel hubs attach to the steering knuckle). You mean the steering shaft coupler. It is usually a tight fit that just has to be played with to get it back on.
