Front Knuckles

[SHOguy 92]

Is the SLO front knuckles the same as the SHO. I'm looking for replacements for my 91 and am wondering what year SLO's to look at or if I need to turn to SHO's. Also the date my car was made was 5/91, ty.

I don't know about SHO vs. SLO, but if you ever intend on doing the 96+ brake upgrade I'd go for some 94-95 knuckles.

SLO and SHO is the same except for the ABS sensor, so just find SLOs with ABS and you will be fine.

Good time to upgrade the knuckles and brakes to newer stuff.

It is but I just the the announcement a kids on the way and I just spent $110 to have 1 wheel bearing done that a machine shop messed up. So don't really wanna drop more cash into it, but ty for the answers.

Also I would assume this would be any SLO with ABS from 86 - 93 thats front knuckles would work?

If you're gonna be getting knuckles sometime, there's no reason not to get them from a 94 or 95. I'd skip the other years. It's not like they're going to cost you much, if anything, more than 86-93 knuckles.

He will still need to buy new rotors and pads(your'e not going to use JY parts there), and the calipers from the JY, if he does buy the 94-95 knuckles.

Oh yeah. I have a 94... forgot there's other stuff to get for those less fortunate. My bad.

Or any Sable. Both the sedans and wagons of Taurus and Sables have the same front brakes. Just keep the same style, 86-93, and look for ABS.
Of course, we are assuming no previous owner already upgraded your front brakes. The rotors do measure just a bit over 10" , correct?
By the way, the very early front hubs, like 86-89 should be avoided,I think the step the rotor sits on is a smaller size. Anybody remember for sure?

Using my old parts on my car for those.
