Dorman 697-981 Front Driver Side Steering Knuckle Left Cast Iron

The Dorman 697-981 is a front driver side (left) replacement steering knuckle engineered to restore proper steering geometry and suspension function. Cast from durable iron and finished in black, this knuckle is built to OEM tolerances for a precise, bolt-on fit with no modifications required.

The steering knuckle is a critical suspension and steering component that connects the wheel hub assembly to the suspension control arms and steering linkage. A worn, cracked, or damaged knuckle can cause handling instability, abnormal tire wear, and wheel bearing failure—making timely replacement essential.

Key Features:

• Direct replacement – designed to replace the original knuckle without modifications
• Cast iron construction – durable material manufactured to strict quality standards
• Precision-engineered fit – matched to OEM dimensions for proper alignment and handling
• Pre-machined mounting points – all stock holes and threaded bolt holes machined in for straightforward installation
• Rigorously tested – thorough quality control ensures long-term reliability
• Black finish – corrosion-resistant coating for underbody durability
• Sold individually – one left/driver-side steering knuckle per package
• Hub not included – knuckle only; reuse or replace existing hub assembly separately
