These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the problem first. If the knuckle is at fault, this part replaces it.
For installation, follow the vehicle service information for torque values, the correct fasteners, and which components to transfer or replace. A wheel alignment is typically recommended after a new knuckle goes in. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete fitment details.
