What does your knuckle show?

[2005ViperRam]

Just to gain some knowledge…
I took my knuckles to the sandblaster, then I painted them with aluminum paint.
I notice mine have “QC” stamped in the knuckle when they were made.
Was there a difference between a “RC” and a “QC”? I thought the knuckles were thesame for both. Or, maybe my thought of what a “QC” that is stamped into the knuckle is wrong.

Anyone have a picture of what a “RC” knuckle looks like?

So turns out the spindles are different between SRT RC & QC. 04-05 (2006 gets weird) RC spindles are the same, with QC spindles having a different part number. As the alignment specs for both the RC & QC are the same, as well as using the same SRT specific LCA's, I would surmise that it is height related as to where the hub sits (how high) in the spindle. RC's are lowered from the factory whereas QC's pretty much have the same height as regular 1500's.



As you can see, the RC (body code 61) p/n's match.



[SBP] is the code for 'performance steering' as opposed to just regular power rack steering [SBA]. That's how you can tell the SRT specific ones vs run of the mill 1500 stuff.

Interestingly enough, your p/n (5290337AC) comes back as a 2006 QC spindle in general internet search but not in the parts listings.

Ironically it turns out that p/n set (336AC & 337AC) are the spindles I got 14 yrs ago:

Just so I fully understand, is a “spindle” and a “knuckle” the same part (i.e. the thing that holds the hub/bearing on)?

Also where do you find the rest of those sales code as shown in your post? That is pretty handy…

 

[Wifey]

This could be correct - it's from Google search lol
