GT350/R and GT500 knuckle comparison.

[Optimum Performance]

Sorry about dragging out this old thread, but for guys who like to track their cars hard, is the knuckle switch worth it?

Rob, if you have the non magride hubs with the single nut, the 2024 bearing is much stiffer.

Very interesting thread!
Can i just swap the 2020 GT 350R hubs to a 2017 GT? Do the Break Caliper mounting points fit for the regular 6 Piston performance Brembo Break? Is the Electronic Steering Rack and Stability/ABS Control module okay with that?
My hopes are, that i just benefit from the Geometric and weight upgrades for track use.

No, unless you change everything else.

The regular mustang and performance pack brakes use a side mount caliper, the 350 and 500 use top mount caliper. If you change to the 350 knuckle, you need to change to the 350 brakes too.

Thank you for the reply.
So if i don't want to change the brakes, the only alternatives for better geometry when lowered are the Mach 1 knuckles i guess.

Yes, best bang for the $$$. Longer steering arm pick-up point as the later 2020+ 350R/GT500. They bolt in. Better hubs. Same hubs from the 2WD Ford Explorer from 2020+

I came across these knuckles that are supposed to be dark horse knuckles. I called the for part line and they told me these aren't ford part numbers.....

Can anyone confirm which car these came from?

They are either 3/21+ MagRide / Mach 1 or 2024+ They are all the same.
