Hey, check with Dave or Joe from Tera, the drag kit comes with a sleeve for the knuckle. The Tera had to be drilled too.the sleeve that comes with the kit may work or u may just have to get another size sleeve

well the problem with the original reamed knuckle was either from the start when my guy installed it and reamed too far down or the wreck i was in may have wallowed out the hole when the drag link got bent up. so to prevent any more problems im just replacing the knuckle. why i feel something was wrong is that i could with my bare hand remove the ball joint from the knuckle. it should have been a hella lot tighter fit than that. so im just going to start off with a clean slate with the new knuckle and the tera kit. oh and i got the IPF blue headlights
