Steering knuckles, or knuckle joints, connect the steering wheel to a vehicle’s suspension system and front wheels.
Via control arms, the steering knuckle connects the upper and lower ball joints in an A-frame suspension system. Bushings at the ends of the control arms allow them to move vertically.
About steering knuckles
Also from the steering knuckles, tie rods and tie rod ends connect to and control steering of the wheels.
They ensure that when a driver turns the steering wheel, the motion of the steering shaft causes the wheels to pivot in the right direction.
Disk-brake systems also use steering knuckles as mounting points for brake callipers.
