Spindle Knuckle

A spindle knuckle is that part which contains the wheel hub or spindle, and attaches to the suspension components. It is variously called spindle uptight or hub as well. The wheel and tire assembly attach to the hub or spindle of the knuckle where the tire/wheel rotates.

Major Role:

The knuckle usually has a spindle onto which the brake drum or brake rotor attaches. The wheel/tire assembly then attaches to the supplied lug studs, and the whole assembly rotates freely on the shaft spindle. The knuckle has no spindle but rather has a hub into which is affixed the bearings and shaft.
