Before you replace the knuckle, rule out a worn bushing, a steering problem and an alignment issue, since each of those can also cause knocking noises or uneven tire wear. A curb strike, pothole or collision can damage a knuckle. The car takes one knuckle on each side of the front axle; this listing is the front right, and the front left is ordered separately.
Fits
The vehicles it fits include the 2003-2008 Subaru Forester, the 2002-2004 Subaru Outback and the 2000-2007 Subaru Impreza. If your car is not one of those, look up your year and model in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
