The Steering Knuckle on the Cadillac Escalade allows the front wheels to pivot while providing an adequate amount of support. Fitted at the junction of suspension arms, tie-rod ends, and the hub, this Steering Knuckle provides firm mounting points that guide each wheel upward over bumps and sideways when you turn the steering wheel. Cadillac made use of two major designs throughout the years. Historically, rear-wheel-drive variants commonly employed a one-piece spindle design, wherein the spindle was cast within the Steering Knuckle and supported a hub with tapered roller bearings. This design suits the heavy Escalade curb weight perfectly. All-wheel-drive trims, meanwhile, adopt a hub-type design in which a separate sealed hub and the drive axle slide through the Steering Knuckle, allowing torque to reach the wheels without sacrificing steering motion. Without altering the basic function, the hub type varies in accepting a mounted or bolted bearing unit instead of a free-rimming spindle shaft that helps quick service. The bolted bearing unit also resists the additional stresses of powered front wheels on a Cadillac Escalade. Regular inspection of the Steering Knuckle bores is performed to identify any deformation caused by a loose ball joint and avoid costly Cadillac Escalade alignment problems.
