"Rear knuckles" refers to the joints in the back part of a person's or animal's body, specifically the joints connecting the long bones of the upper leg to the lower leg.
Full definition
Those
new rear knuckles are less susceptible to flexing in hard driving, which means the rear contact patch is more stable, improving mechanical grip.
If bolt 56280 - JA000 needs to be replaced at the rear shock absorber to
rear knuckle location, and the vehicle is a 2002 - 2012 Altima or 2004 - 2012 Maxima, order bolt 56280 - JA00A instead of 56280 - JA000.
The SVR retains the all - wheel aluminium double - wishbone suspension arrangement of the donor model, but scores
stronger rear knuckles, a softer -LRB--5 %) front anti-roll bar and a firmer (+5 %) rear anti-roll bar.
Extensive use of aluminum instead of steel for the lower front and rear control arms, tie rod ends and
rear knuckles helps offset the weight of the hybrid components.
The rear subframe has enabled revisions to suspension geometry which, allied to stiffer bushes —
new rear knuckles and working in tandem with the stiffer springs — increase stability and response over standard XF Sportbrake models.
«We increase
the rear knuckle stiffness, so when we're braking in a corner, the steer arm on the rear knuckle has been stiffened up,» Leone explains.
The tyres are wider, the 20 - inch wheels are lighter and
the rear knuckles are stiffer.
Engineers were also able to reduce overall weight by using aluminum for the hood, tailgate and several suspension elements including the front lower control arms, front and
rear knuckles, and in the brake calipers.
New design for
the rear knuckles and larger diameter bushings increased the roll center height, camber gain and roll understeer resulting in improved steering and cornering response
At the rear a new subframe has enabled revisions to suspension geometry which, allied to stiffer bushes — new
rear knuckles and working in tandem with the stiffer springs — increase stability and response.

A trailing arm also runs from the unibody to
each rear knuckle.
There's a reworked suspension with stiffer springs, bushings and
rear knuckles.
Further, engineers were able to bring down the overall weight by using aluminum for the hood, tailgate and several suspension elements including the front lower control arms, front and
