What are the symptoms of a bad steering knuckle in a car?
1 Answers
Car steering knuckle failure symptoms include: 1. Abnormal tire wear and vehicle pulling to one side; 2. Brake vibration, damaging bearings and drive shafts; 3. Front wheel abnormal wear and poor steering wheel return; 4. Unusual body noises. The steering knuckle assembly (commonly called "sheep horn" in Chinese) is one of the main components on a car's steering axle and serves as a crucial part connecting the wheels to the suspension. The steering knuckle enables stable vehicle operation and precise directional control. Its primary functions are to bear the front load of the vehicle, support and drive the front wheels to rotate around the kingpin for steering. During operation, the steering knuckle endures variable impact loads, requiring it to possess extremely high strength.
