I'm thinking Meritor #A1-3111v3272 is the one I need.
Any one have one lying around ?

The new knuckle arrived today - looks perfect! It went on well. I had also bought a kingpin kit - it came with all the small bits, shims & seals.
As much as I was dreading the reassembly, it is going very well so far - I am actually enjoying it.
Looking forward to the next trip ! !

The front axle tag on mine - Rockwell FF942QX
The part I ordered that seems to be the right one -

I say seems to be the right one because after 29 years, some changes were made, but the king pin, steering arm & pitman arm holes are the same. The spindle is 1/8" longer, but the bearing seats are all in the same location.
I'll only know for sure once it is back on & the alignment checks out.

Glad you checked your bearings. Probably a good time for all of us to take a look at our suspension components as well as our tires.
This can help.
