The knuckles are sold right next to the extended shackles designed to lift 4x4's which throw off the camber, steering and tend to break under side load in offroading, one shelf down you can find the "engine rebuild in a can" and the "Stop leak"... Best of luck but if you intend to keep the car, fix it right...If you like the car put H&R springs in and suddenly it will handle!

Oh well.. Don't tell anyone, but sometimes I get the wine that's in a box too
.. I did the spring knuckles about a year and a half ago.
Bet 5 yrs from now they will still be working. I do however agree that it's not the best way to solve the problem. But certainly a cheap solution that in my opinion does not cause a safety hazard.
It would be EASY to spend a lot of money on this car, and yet never really increase its' market value
