Steering Knuckle

A steering knuckle is a component of the vehicle's suspension system that connects the wheel hub and the suspension components to the vehicle's steering system. It is typically a part of the front axle assembly and plays a crucial role in allowing the wheels to turn and change direction.

The steering knuckle serves as a pivot point for the front wheels, allowing them to rotate and steer the vehicle. It is designed to withstand the forces and stresses generated during steering and braking, ensuring smooth and controlled movement of the wheels.

In addition to providing a connection between the wheel and the steering system, the steering knuckle also houses the wheel bearings, which allow the wheel to rotate freely. It may also have provisions for attaching other suspension components, such as the control arms or tie rods.

Overall, the steering knuckle is an essential component in the Vehicular Brake, Steering, Axle, Wheel, and Track Components supply class. It contributes to the safe and efficient operation of the vehicle's steering and suspension systems, ensuring proper control and maneuverability.
