This was my original concern as to would there be enough thread to get a nut on given the thickness of the steering knuckle. Yeah it's only a 1/4" less, and if memory serves me I do believe that there was more than enough thread above the castle nut on the original end.
Plenty of room, i think i have an extra 1/8 inch of thread on mine with a flat washer and lock nut
