The Crane Axle GM Dana 60 Rear Steer Knuckle Kit is designed around proven Dana 60 kingpin geometry. This kit combines interlocking high steer arms, chromoly knuckles, and kingpin components into a complete custom rear steering axle assemblies for rock crawlers, competition buggies, and high-articulation off-road vehicles.

Unlike typical Dana 60-only systems, this kit is designed to work with virtually any axle housing using a 3.00" to 4.00" bore configuration. That flexibility makes it suitable for fabricated 9" & 10" housings, GM 14-Bolt, Dana 60, Dana 70, Dana 80, and custom fabricated axle assemblies. The keyed interlocking steering arm design transfers steering loads directly into the knuckle body instead of relying solely on fastener clamping force, reducing stress on hardware during high-load steering conditions.

Tech Insight 

Rear steer axle systems place unique loads on steering components due to high articulation angles, rear axle traction forces, and the steering leverage generated by large tires. Traditional steering arm systems can allow fastener movement or bolt fatigue under repeated shock loading, especially in competition environments.

The Crane Axle interlocking steering arm system uses precision-machined keyed engagement surfaces to mechanically transfer steering loads into the knuckle body itself. This reduces stress concentration on mounting hardware and improves steering stability under extreme conditions. Combined with 8620 chromoly construction, the system provides improved impact resistance, fatigue life, and serviceability compared to conventional cast iron knuckle assemblies.
