1 Answers
Symptoms of a bad steering knuckle include incorrect kingpin inclination and front wheel camber angle; occurrence of tire wear and deviation; may cause brake vibration, damage to bearings and drive shaft. Below is additional information: 1. The formal term for the steering knuckle is the steering knuckle assembly. The steering knuckle is one of the main components on the steering axle of a car and an important part connecting the wheel and suspension. Its unique shape is designed to facilitate the connection of suspension arms, tie rods, and half-shafts, and it is named for its resemblance to a sheep's horn. 2. It ensures stable driving and sensitive transmission of the driving direction. The function of the steering knuckle is to bear the front load of the car, support and drive the front wheels to rotate around the kingpin for steering. Under driving conditions, it endures variable impact loads, thus requiring high strength.
