Those are knuckles, not knuckes.

The uprights are available brand new for about $100 each.  Used would be a
bit less, but not much due to the fact that the van is pretty much
completely disabled once removed.

The radius rods (251 407 059A) are the same for all Vanagons.  Although,
from your description, it sounds like you may be referring to the tie rods.
The tie rods (251 419 803) are also the same for all Vanagons: manual
steering, power steering and Syncro.

As for the drag link, once again, based on your description it sounds like
you may be referring to the intermediate steering shaft (251 422 753).  If
that's the case, you'll also need the universal joint that is specific to
the power steering Vanagons.

Cheers,

Subject: Wanted in LA area: knuckes etc from power-steered van

I'm needing these items to allow fitment of my brake conversion and
also conversion to power steering, so I'd need them from a
power-steered van 1985(?) or layer:

front knuckes (stubaxles, uprights, whatever)
radius rods (connect rack to knuckles)
draglink (connects steering column to rack)

I believe the knuckes should fit my 84 nonPS van, which has the
fabricated lower wishbones.

I have a "tame" container shipper in Crompton, LA for shipping the
stuff to me in LA.

I thought I was going to be able to get a set from someone moving
here from England, but no such luck.
