Chevrolet El Camino Steering Knuckle
The Steering Knuckle of the Chevrolet El Camino holds the front wheels in place, permits their rotation for steering, and makes sure you have a smooth suspension travel. The Steering Knuckle serves as the suspension center point, linking the upper and lower control arms or strut and lower arm, receiving the tie-rod end, and carrying the spindle or hub which holds the wheel. Thus, every bump or turn is handled in a stable manner. In the early generations of the El Camino, the Steering Knuckle was a kingpin style where the spindle rotated on fixed bushings. But as independent front suspension became widespread, Chevrolet substituted the kingpin for ball joints. Chevrolet also added two different rear-wheel-drive versions; one was forged with an integral spindle for tapered roller bearings. The other was drilled to accept a bolt-on hub with sealed bearings. The two layouts allow upward mobility of the wheels on uneven road surfaces and a lateral swing when steering inputs are made. The El Camino platform's basic Steering Knuckle mission was kept the same through every body style change, and it has produced a Steering Knuckle that conforms to Chevrolet durability standards but is rarely replaced unless there is crash damage or distorted ball-joint tapers.
