So my wheel bearing went to **** today and decided to take out the steering knuckle also. Problem I'm have know is finding a replacement steering knuckle. None of my local shops have one and been online, rockauto and a couple others and no luck. Any ideas?

Dealer is a no go. They have discontinued that part. Junk has been no luck either. Running out of junkyards to check in AZ.

there are national junk yards you can search on line
also bigger salvage yards belong to a network and can find the part for you. I think you need to go to a true auto dismantler not a pick and pull type yard
good luck hate to see a dodge deadlined

not necessarily. If you have a good parts guy, he can check the national database. There might be one(NOS) sitting on some dealer's shelf.

What is keeping you from using that one? If you get the bent bolts out I don't see a reason to not reuse it.

Yeah a machine shop should be able to get those out if nothing else is wrong with the piece.
