Section 218 (Front Suspension): Knuckle: Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Dodge Grand Caravan, 2004 Dodge Caravan, and 2004 Chrysler Town & Country. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The steering knuckle is a single aluminum casting with legs machined for attachment of the strut assembly, steering linkage, disc brake caliper adapter, lower control arm ball joint and steering linkage. The hub and bearing assembly is mounted in the center of the steering knuckle using 4 bolts. The driveshaft's constant velocity (C/V) stub axle is splined through the center of the hub and bearing and is held in place using a nut, nut lock and cotter pin.
Service replacement of the front hub and bearing assembly can be done with the steering knuckle remaining on the vehicle.
