A
steering knuckle is a crucial part of a vehicle's steering system. It connects the wheel to the suspension components, allowing for smooth turning and maneuvering. It acts as a pivot point between the wheel and the rest of the steering system, enabling the driver to control the direction of the vehicle.

One of the keys to agile handling is the axle technology: for enhanced driving dynamics, the McPherson front axle on the GLA 45 AMG is fitted with
stiffer steering knuckles and new elastokinematics.
Merc also mentions that there are
special steering knuckles in front and new load - bearing joints as well, while extra negative camber was added this time around for crisper turn - in characteristics.
Its chassis featuring a four link front and an all - new unique to the Coupe multi-link rear suspension has been completely overhauled though complete with
new steering knuckles, wider tracks, stiffer elastokinematic tuning and greater negative camber.
Steering knuckle design, torsion beam rigidity and damper tuning have all been recalibrated for sportier handling and steering responsiveness compared with Elantra sedan.
The GT350's new, cast - aluminum
front steering knuckles deliver a different offset to give you more control of so much contact patch (a little more steering castor comes as part of the geometry as well), yet you can steer with your fingertips instead of your biceps.
To cope with torque steer, the front struts get
separate steering knuckle, and Agile Handling Assist torque - vectoring applies light braking to the inner wheel for quicker cornering.
Our systems include new replacement
cast steering knuckles, front differential drop brackets to correct pinion angle, and easy to install 1 piece MIG - welded subframes.
Its steering has more vagueness from straight ahead, and although it torque steers less than the Renault — both have a torque - steer -
reducing steering knuckle on their MacPherson strut front suspension — so, too, does it offer less road feel and feedback.
The kit also includes ductile iron CNC -
machined steering knuckles that are made in the U.S.; differential and front impact skidplates that protect and also lock the new crossmembers together for strength; and new stainless - steel front brake lines.
There are important parts in cars like Ball - Joints, Control Arms and
steering knuckle which forms an important part of our vehicle.
While the front suspension uses the same philosophy as before (the idea is to bring each wheel closer to its center line in order to minimize torque steer), there are new attachment points, as well as lower arms and
steering knuckles now made from aluminum.
The 2015 GLA45 AMG also receives some upgraded chassis hardware, including
beefier steering knuckles, stiffer springs and dampers, and larger anti-roll bars.
The front - end also boasts a wider track, plus
bespoke steering knuckles, and all four corners are controlled by AMG 3 - stage adaptive dampers.
It's a version of a MacPherson strut front suspension set - up that features an
additional steering knuckle, so the wheel steers around a point closer to its centre line, in turn reducing torque steer by up to 50 % compared with a standard Civic, according to Honda.
All Jeeps, except Grand Wagoneer, have the following chassis changes: One -
piece steering knuckles that simplify assembly and reduce weight on four - wheel - drive models.
But the difference is in the chassis — it has various tweaks like updated front pull rods, three - stage adjustable dampers,
tweaked steering knuckles, higher negative camber, firmer springs and new load bearing joints.
Ford fit stiffer front wheel bearings and unique radial - mounted brake calipers that allows for a stiffer mounting than traditional cross bolts to these
unique steering knuckles.
Mercedes - Benz C 450 AMG Sport 4Matic also inherits a series of chassis characteristics from its bigger brother, the C63, including new load bearing joints, extra negative camber and
revised steering knuckles, plus updated front pull rods, adjustable dampers, tweaked front axle carrier and firmer springs.
It uses forged aluminum control arms and
steering knuckles up front and massive, six - piston Brembo brakes clamping 14.9 - inch slotted and vented rotors.
A stiffer suspension system with high - performance springs, bushings, and anti-roll bars helps to straighten the curves and an electronically controlled power steering assist system works in combination with more
rigid steering knuckles and shorter link arms to deliver more responsive steering.
Further chassis changes, including the adoption of
stiffer steering knuckles and a unique ratio and software mapping for the electro - mechanical steering, are aimed at sharpening up responses.
The Type R gets a new Dual - Axis front suspension setup with aluminum lower arms and
steering knuckles for improved at - the - limit cornering and reduced torque steer, a helical limited - slip front differential, a new four - wheel Adaptive Suspension System with three - chamber dampers, a retuned and adaptive dual - pinion electric power steering system with variable gear ratio.
Steering knuckle design and damper tuning have all been recalibrated for sportier handling and steering responsiveness compared with Elantra sedan.
The front axle is fitted with
special steering knuckles and load - bearing joints; all components have been optimised in terms of rigidity.
In addition to a mechanical limited - slip differential, this generation of CTR gets two - stage adjustable dampers, front struts with
separate steering knuckles to better cope with torque steer, and Agile Handling Assist torque - vectoring that applies light braking to the inner wheel for quicker cornering.
Still offering the option of Comfort, Sport and Sport Plus, the suspension itself gains
new steering knuckles and beefed up load bearing joints to boost steering precision and rigidity.
Our systems include new replacement
cast steering knuckles, adjustable front upper control arms, front differential drop brackets to correct pinion angle, and easy to install 1 piece MIG - welded subframes.
The overall chassis is lighter, thanks to the use of aluminum instead of steel in areas like the
front steering knuckles, and engineers retuned the front and rear subframes with larger bushings to improve lateral stiffness and NVH characteristics.
You need to clean the surface where the hub mounts to
the steering knuckle.
Here too we see the last car's Dual - Axis front suspension setup, with aluminum lower arms and
steering knuckles, which aim to banish torque steer by letting each wheel steer closer to its centerline.
The front axle is uprated over regular CLS models with its own special
steering knuckles and load - bearing joints, with every other component optimised for rigidity.
Perfectly apt for the new sled, which uses stiffer settings, a reinforced front cross member, negative camber settings, and thicker - gauge aluminum on
the steering knuckles for sharper feel.
This is
a steering knuckle from a Touareg.
Chevy engineers point to the revised roll - center height, new
steering knuckles, and different antiroll - bar mounting points, which they claim help exorcise the front - wheel - drive demons.
Something you may want to do is to put your jack under the ball joint near
the steering knuckle near the tire.
There's a host of technology said to improve the driving experience, too;
steering knuckles and various axle components are constructed from aluminium, reducing unsprung masses, and there's a speed - sensitive power steering system designed to boost both high - speed stability and agility, as well as make parking easier.
joints: ball joints, cv's, tie - rod ends,
steering knuckles, etc. anywhere you see a zirk fitting!
Because coupes are meant to be more fun to drive than their sedan equivalents, Hyundai has made some mild updates to some of the suspension and chassis components, including
the steering knuckle design, rear torsion beam rigidity, and damper settings.
While it would be possible to go on about special
steering knuckles, negative camber, and the super-sophisticated air suspension, among other treatments from the AMG spa, we think the E43's best attribute is its styling.
The ball joints connect the vehicle to the wheel by actually connecting
the steering knuckles to the control arms.
