Abstract

The purpose of this work is to study, discuss analysis the acting force to a steering knuckle while in track or random load for a standard vehicle. Steering knuckle is a main automotive component that requires a lot of attention in taking care of it. That’s because once it damage, it have to be replaced with the new one. Steering knuckles are heavy cast parts made of steel or aluminium. They are not repairable and should be replaced if damaged. Steering knuckle hold the wheel part, lower control arm, sub frame, and the strut, which is bolted to the body of the vehicle. In mechanical part, it will become wear or excessive in certain cyclic time due to load of force that has been carry in this pivot. This is due to random load from the uneven road surfaces. Each time the vehicle travel on the road, this part will receive certain amount of force.
