Forged Steering Knuckles

About Forged Steering Knuckles

A forged steering knuckle is a high-strength structural component that serves as the pivot point between the vehicles suspension and wheel assembly. It supports the wheel hub and bearing, allowing the wheel to rotate freely while maintaining its connection to the suspension system. The steering knuckle also provides mounting points for the control arms, strut, and steering linkage, enabling directional control of the vehicle.

Manufactured through a forging process, the steering knuckle is shaped from high-grade steel or aluminum alloy under high pressure. This process refines the metals grain structure, resulting in superior mechanical strength, impact resistance, and fatigue life compared to cast or machined alternatives.
