It offers location where control arms, tie-rod ends and the wheel hub or spindle can be fixed to; it can handle the up and down swinging movement of the suspension and the side to side twisting movement of the steerage. There are several types of steering knuckles, mainly centralized by the type of the car drive- rear-wheel drive (RWD) or front, all-wheel, four-wheel drive (FWD/AWD/4WD). Depending on the design, the RWD models can have an integrated spindle within the knuckle, while the FWD/AWD/4WD models can have a drive axle passing through the knuckle and fastened to a bolted or a pressed hub. In the recent models, steering knuckle has been known to have ditched the kingpin for the modern ball joint though this is not the case with the current heavy-duty models. These components need periodic checks and services so as to ensure that the vehicles are safe and can perform their functions as expected.
