I have sand blasted my diff housing along with the knuckles. I can super etch and 2 pack paint the housing but can i also do that to the knuckles?
Is the paint going to be ok under the swivel seals?

I could chrome dip the knuckles...

They come painted or coated in black from the factory...that wears off after a few 100k kms

I painted mine with no issues. Chrome would be trick.

definetly use etch primer and a top brand epoxy paint, it will stop ur balls rusting and vastly extend the seal life, ya might have to wet and dry ur balls and apply a few coats till its nice and smooth.

might be a good idea to sand back the ends of the diff housing too :?
