What this part does

The front right steering knuckle is the primary structural link that connects the vehicle's suspension, steering, and braking systems at the wheel. It provides the mounting provisions for the upper control arm, lower control arm, brake caliper, and outer tie rod end. The center bore of the component houses the pressed-in wheel bearing and hub assembly, allowing the wheel to rotate smoothly while supporting the weight of the vehicle. A bent, cracked, or fractured knuckle—typically the result of a severe pothole impact or collision—will prevent the vehicle from achieving proper suspension alignment, leading to accelerated tire wear and compromised steering geometry.

Before you order

Match the 7P0407245A part number cast directly into your original part before purchasing. Vehicles on this shared platform can have variations in the knuckle casting depending on the factory brake options and suspension types (air versus steel coil springs). When replacing a used steering knuckle, it is standard industry practice to press out the old wheel bearing and install a brand new bearing and hub assembly prior to mounting the knuckle on the vehicle. Inspect your existing control arm ball joints and tie rod ends, as these are often damaged in the same impacts that bend a steering knuckle.
