Rear Knuckle: Description and Operation

A forged rear knuckle bolts to each rear strut assembly. The movement of the rear knuckle is controlled laterally using two lateral arms attached to the knuckle. The outboard ends of the two lateral arms are mounted forward and rearward of the spindle centerline, and inboard ends are mounted to the rear crossmember. Fore and aft movement of the knuckle is controlled by using a tension strut.
