The knuckle is the pivot that joins the wheel hub, the suspension and the steering linkage. This front left unit is a direct-fit replacement for those listed applications. For engine details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
From the DORMAN OE Solutions steering knuckle line, this part is precision-engineered and thoroughly tested as a replacement for the original knuckle on specific vehicles.
The steering knuckle supports the wheel hub and connects it to the suspension and the steering tie rod. It pivots as the wheels turn. Signs this part may need replacing include visible cracks or bending after a curb strike or collision, alignment that cannot be brought back into specification, uneven tire wear, or steering that pulls. Because these symptoms can have other causes, inspect the front end before replacing the knuckle.
Consult the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners, torque values and whether the original hardware may be reused. A wheel alignment is typically recommended after replacement.
