The wheel knuckle is an aluminum casting which provides for the attachment of the upper and lower control arms and the toe-link. The wheel knuckle also provides the mounting locations for the wheel hub and bearing assembly, the wheel speed sensor, the brake caliper and the brake dust shield, which is secured with 3 rivets.
The wheel hub and bearing assembly is a non-serviceable component that requires replacement as a complete assembly. It is secured to the wheel knuckle with 4 bolts. A magnetic encoder ring for the wheel speed sensor is incorporated into the wheel bearing.
