Knocking noises, uneven tire wear or a steering pull can mean the knuckle is bent, cracked or worn, though worn suspension bushings or tie rod ends can produce the same signs, so find the cause before replacing the knuckle. A visible crack or bend after hitting a curb or pothole is worth a shop inspection.
