How to service and repair the front shock absorber and steering knuckle on Chevrolet Malibu?

When dealing with suspension strut servicing start by drawing lines on the knuckle using a precise tool around the external strut section. Draw the strut flange directly on its inboard side by tracing after the knuckle's contour line. The interface between strut and knuckle must receive a scribe mark. When assembling components pay close attention to align the identification marks correctly.

How to replace the front steering knuckle on Chevrolet Malibu?

A technician should start by lifting and supporting the vehicle before they remove the Wheel Bearing and the outer tie rod to knuckle nut. You should use a universal steering linkage puller (J 24319-B) to detach the tie rod from the Steering Knuckle followed by removing the lower Control Arm and the strut to Steering Knuckle nuts and bolts. Following this step, remove the Steering Knuckle from the automobile. Installation requires the Steering Knuckle attachment to both the strut assembly along with the abs harness bracket when present and securing all bolts and nuts at 120 nm (89 ft. Lbs.). Guide the axle through the Steering Knuckle before you install the outer tie rod with a 20 nm (15 ft. Lbs.) nut torque and afterward rotate the nut 180 degrees and check the torque reaches 50 nm (37 ft. Lbs.). Close the installation process by attaching the Wheel Bearing and brake caliper along with brake rotor and front wheels before lowering the vehicle for a road test to check alignment and solve any detected lead or pull problems.

The Steering Knuckle in Chevrolet Malibu vehicles forms a link between the suspension system and the steering system where it enables movement of the front wheels. It has provision for mounting of the control arms on one side and tie-rod ends or the wheel hub or spindle on the other side to enable the thing to move vertically depending on the contact with the road surface and horizontally when steering is done. In the Malibu specifically over the years Chevrolet has divided the Steering Knuckles into the FWD and AWD assemblies. FWD/AWD knuckles usually have a hub that is either screwed or clipped onto the knuckle and 'RWD' may consist of an integral spindle. The other design variation is aimed at enhancing performance and stability, where its source is assumed to be the need to maintain the wheel alignment and control during its operation. In assessment, these components must be inspected routinely for flow and efficiency of the car or truck.
