How to Determine if the Steering Knuckle is Faulty?
1 Answers
Methods to determine if the steering knuckle is faulty include: 1. Incorrect kingpin inclination and front wheel camber angles; 2. Occurrence of tire wear or vehicle pulling to one side; 3. Brake vibration. The steering knuckle, also known as the wheel carrier, is one of the crucial components in a vehicle's steering axle. It ensures stable driving and sensitive transmission of steering direction. As the hinge for wheel steering, this forked component features two coaxial holes on its upper and lower forks for kingpin installation. The steering knuckle spindle mounts the wheel, while its pin holes connect with the fist-shaped ends of the front axle via the kingpin, allowing the front wheels to pivot around the kingpin for vehicle steering.
