Product Information
This Steering knuckle is a Genuine VW component sourced directly from the Genuine VW Dealership Network. The knuckle is especially important as it houses the wheel bearing and is the central connecting point to the wheel and suspension control arms. If you're experiencing wheel alignment irregularities we always recommend to check your knuckle for any possible bends that could be throwing off your vehicles alignment.
Volkswagen Wheel Hub Carriers diagram for GTI
A steering knuckle connects the wheel hub, suspension, and steering components, enabling the wheel to pivot for steering while supporting vertical load from the vehicle’s weight. The knuckle provides mounting points for the control arms, tie rods, strut, or spindle, depending on the suspension design, and houses the wheel bearing, allowing the wheel to rotate freely.
Steering Knuckle Failure Symptoms- Steering Misalignment: If the steering knuckle is bent or damaged, it can cause alignment issues, making the vehicle pull to one side and causing uneven tire wear
- Excessive Vibration: A damaged knuckle can disrupt the wheel's connection to the suspension and steering components, resulting in noticeable vibration, especially at higher speeds
- Poor Handling: When the knuckle is compromised, it may lead to poor handling, with the vehicle becoming less responsive to steering inputs or feeling unstable
About Genuine VW Audi
The Volkswagen Group, also known as “VAG”, consists of Volkswagen, Audi, Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, Porsche, Ducati, MAN, Scania, SEAT, and Skoda. The original parts used by VAG to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine VAG” brand. Manufactured under the direction of VAG, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are available exclusively through the VAG Dealership network.
You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your VAG are not necessarily manufactured by VAG. No cause for concern, as VAG designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for VAG for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine VAG parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a VAG logo.
Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
