The OEM Ford Mustang steering angle is minimal at best. For drifting, the factory angle can be very frustrating to work with. This service takes your factory steering knuckles to the next level by adding significantly more steering angle while also increasing the steering quickness. All knuckles are media blasted, cut, ground, and fit into a jig before being TIG welded by our experienced fabricators and come painted black. Our modified knuckle geometry is set up to provide a small amount of positive Ackerman (toe out) at lock. Through our experience and testing, we have found that this provides the best combination of steering feel, angle, and grip. 60+ degrees of lock is possible with the correct combination of parts!
Core Exchange Program:
***We only stock 98-04 knuckle cores. We only accept 98-04 knuckles to be returned to us for the core exchange program. If you require 94-97 knuckles for your application please send us your cores for modification!***
For your convenience, you may select to take advantage of our core exchange program in order to keep your car mobile until you receive our products. You can do this by selecting the "DDC provided cores" option from the drop-down. We will source and modify a set of knuckles and ship them to you. Once you receive the modded knuckles from us, remove your unmodified OEM knuckles and send them to us to receive a refund of $70. Your cores must be in good usable condition and returned within 60 days in order to receive refund.
If you chose "customer provided cores", we will not begin fabrication of your order until we receive your cores.
Please select if you will be sending us your knuckles to modify (no core charge) or if we will be using a set of our cores.
Please ship your cores to:

Tie Rod Drilling Option:
Using the drop-down menu, you can select to have us drill out the tapered tie rod attachment hole in the knuckle to accommodate aftermarket bump-steer kits that utilize straight through-bolt attachment. 5/8" is the most common sizing used for bump steer kits that do require the knuckles to be drilled, but customers should confirm the hardware requirements of their particular kit before selecting this option. Please contact us for sizing that is not listed. Selecting to have us drill your knuckles is beneficial since we can perform this modification by fixturing the tie rod boss in a mill and drilling them prior to welding. This facilitates robust fixturing to ensure a clean, accurate, round hole to be drilled (compared to drilling by hand after welding).
