Vehicle knuckle with bolt-on steer arm

摘要

A vehicle steering knuckle has an inward contact surface that is attached to a vehicle steer arm that has an outward contact surface, by way of at least one bolt extending through aligned holes in the knuckle and into the steer arm. The bolt connects the knuckle to the steer arm, from a side of the knuckle that is opposite the steer arm. Thereby, the vehicle steering knuckle and vehicle steer arm come in contact with each other at the contact surfaces by tightening the bolt. The steer arm may have a ball bearing, dowel pin, protrusions, or cut-out extending into or out of the vehicle steering knuckle or vehicle steer arm at the contact surfaces.
