What is a Steering Knuckle?

The steering knuckle is the component that contains the wheel hub or spindle and connects to both the suspension and steering systems. It serves as a rigid foundation point in the steering and suspension, allowing the wheel to articulate up and down while also pivoting left and right for steering control. The knuckle provides mounting points for the brake caliper, wheel bearing hub assembly, ball joints, and tie rod end.
