In Automotive suspension,
the knuckle is the part that
connects the hub and wheel
assembly to the suspension
components.
A knuckle essentially ensures
the wheel is held in a stable
plane of motion as it rotates.
The knuckle is also known as,
an upright or hub carrier and
varies with suspension design
and drive layout (FWD, RWD
or AWD).
On the Audi A4 all four
suspension arms, tie rods
and the wheel bearing are
connected to the knuckle. If any
of these components are being
replaced due to a collision, be
sure to advise your customer to
check the knuckle for damage.
Also, the A4 four-link suspension
system is extremely sensitive
to imbalances and light impacts
such has hitting a kerb can
indirectly cause the knuckle
to bend slightly. This will be
enough to affect the wheel
alignment which cannot be
corrected until the knuckle has
been replaced.
