Front Steering Knuckle
Description
The steering knuckle is a single casting with legs machined for attachment to the front strut assembly on the top and
steering linkage on the trailing leading end. The steering knuckle also has two machined, drilled legs on the end
casting to support and align the front disc brake caliper adapter.
Operation
The steering knuckle supports the hub and bearing. The front suspension steering knuckle is not a repairable com-
ponent of the front suspension. It must be replaced if damaged in any way. If it is determined that the steering
knuckle is bent when servicing the vehicle, no attempt should be made to straighten the steering knuckle.
