What happens when a car's steering knuckle is deformed?

[KiaraAnn]

Car steering knuckle refers to the steering wheel. If the steering wheel is deformed or damaged, it will reduce the car's stability, cause slippage between the tire and the ground, and prevent the wheel from automatically returning to the correct position, leading to wheel misalignment. The steering knuckle has a complex shape, combining the structural features of four types of components: shafts, sleeves, rings, and fork brackets. It mainly consists of three parts: the supporting journal, the flange, and the fork bracket. Here is additional information: Symptoms of slight deformation in a car's steering knuckle include: Deformation of the steering knuckle affects the car's stability, making it difficult to control the direction. Deformation can also cause uneven tire wear, and if detected, it should be replaced promptly. If the steering knuckle is damaged, it can lead to slippage between the tire and the ground, shortening the tire's lifespan, and preventing the wheel from automatically returning to the correct position, resulting in wheel misalignment.
