Steering Knuckle 05168421AF for Chrysler 300 Dodge Challenger Charger 2012-2021

Steering Knuckle for Chrysler 300 Dodge Challenger Charger

This steering knuckle, referenced under 05168421AF, is the hub-mounting component that carries the front wheel bearing and connects the strut, tie rod, and brake assembly so the front wheel steers and tracks correctly.

Overview

The steering knuckle is a load-bearing front suspension and steering component that ties the wheel hub to the strut, tie rod, and brakes on these rear-wheel-drive LX and LD platform cars. It is the pivot the front wheel turns on, so a sound steering knuckle keeps camber, caster, and toe within range and steering response predictable. This steering knuckle suits owners and shops replacing a bent, cracked, or worn unit on a Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, or Dodge Charger.

Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Do I need an alignment after installing this knuckle? A: Yes, replacing a steering knuckle changes the front suspension geometry, so a professional alignment is required afterward. Driving before an alignment can cause uneven tire wear and poor handling.

Q: Will my existing hub bearing and brake parts bolt up? A: This knuckle is built to the factory mounting pattern, so the hub bearing, caliper, shield, strut, and tie rod attach with their original hardware. Confirm your model year and drivetrain before ordering.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
