The steering knuckle needs to be replaced if it has been deformed under heavy force. Here are the details about replacing the steering knuckle in a vehicle: 1. Definition: The steering knuckle, also known as the steering arm, is the axle head at both ends of the front I-beam that bears the steering function. It is one of the key components in a car's steering system, ensuring smooth and stable driving while sensitively transmitting the driving direction. 2. Function: The steering knuckle transmits and bears the front load of the vehicle, supporting and driving the front wheels to rotate around the kingpin. It enables the car to steer and, while the vehicle is in motion, the steering knuckle endures variable impact loads, requiring it to have high strength.
