A steering knuckle may need replacing if an impact, such as a curb strike or a deep pothole, has bent or cracked it. Signs can include steering pull, uneven tire wear or an alignment that won't set to specification. Worn ball joints, tie rods or wheel bearings can cause similar signs, so diagnose the cause before replacing parts. Check the vehicle service information for the correct fasteners and whether they may be reused, and have the alignment checked after installation. For engine-specific details, see the Buyer's Guide tab.
