Steering Knuckle

Description

The knuckle is a single aluminum casting with legs machined for attachment of the strut assembly, disc brake caliper adapter, lower control arm ball joint and steering linkage. The hub and bearing assembly is mounted in the center of the steering knuckle using four bolts. The drive axle constant velocity stub shaft is splined through the center of the hub and bearing and is held in place using a locking hub nut.

Service replacement of the front hub and bearing assembly can be done with the steering knuckle remaining on the vehicle.
