About Steering Knuckles
A motor vehicle’s Mercedes-Benzsteering knuckle is a component which contains the wheel hub or spindle and attaches to the suspension mechanism through a ball joint. It plays an integral role as the pivotal point of the suspension and steering system. On cars with a conventional suspension system, the spindle of the Mercedes-Benzsteering knuckle locates and provides support to the inner and outer wheel bearings. There are various types of Mercedes-Benzsteering knuckle, which come in a range of different shapes and sizes. However, the two main designs can be divided into those that are accompanied by a hub and those that come with a spindle.
The Mercedes-Benzsteering knuckle plays an important part in the steering and suspension system of a modern motor vehicle. If it becomes worn or is damaged there is likely to be immediate, discernible evidence. This normally takes the form of damage to the front tyres, which is exhibited by uneven wear.
Defective steering geometry caused by a damaged Mercedes-Benzsteering knuckle assembly adversely impacts on the steering and suspension of the car and may have safety implications. The system should be inspected immediately and the damaged part replaced. Failure to do so may result in additional damage to the vehicle’s suspension and steering systems.
Mercedes-Benz trivia

- The Popemobile is a Mercedes Benz M-Class SUV. It's not a standard model, however, and has some added features like an inbuilt oxygen system and bulletproof glass.
- Karl Benz obviously gave his name to the company, but the Mercedes part of the name comes from the daughter of his customer and friend, Emil Jellinek. Her name was (obviously) Mercedes, and it's still surprising that her name remains so attached to the iconic car brand.
- In 1924, Mercedes Benz became the first car manufacturer to include brakes on all four of a car's wheels. Not long after, in 1931, they also added suspension springs to the corners of the Mercedes Benz 170.
- We all recognise that distinctive Mercedes logo, but did you know that the three points of the star represent air, land, and water? There was a point where they considered adding another point to represent space, but they decided against it in the end.
