How to Service and Repair the Front Steering Knuckle on Ford Expedition?

A proper repair or maintenance procedure for the front wheel knuckle begins with taking out the wheel hub. The hex holding feature provides security when detaching the stud from turning so operators can separate the tie-rod end from the wheel knuckle before discarding the nut while installing a new nut to 150 Nm (111 ft. lbs.) torque. You should then detach the brake hose bracket bolt and place the hose out of the way before reinstalling it with 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs.) torque. The hex holding feature should be used to remove and discard the stabilizer bar link lower nut before installation of the new nut that requires a torque of 90 Nm (66 ft. lbs.). The installation requires removal of the shock absorber lower nut and bolt along with discarding the nut before tightening the new nut to 475 Nm (350 ft. lbs). You can separate the ball joint from the wheel knuckle by first installing the lower ball joint nut loosely before you tap on the end of the stud then remove and discard the nut and finally tighten the new nut to 200 Nm (148 ft. lbs.) during installation. To complete the installation of the upper ball joint you should replace the old nut with a new one upon tightening it to 150 Nm (111 ft. lbs.). You must remove the three brake disc shield bolts together with the brake disc shield after which you must tighten the new bolts to 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs.) during reinstallation. The installation process should be reversed along with inspections of the front end alignment followed by necessary correction adjustments.

Steering Steering Knuckle in Ford Expedition vehicles can be defined simply as the connection between the suspension Steering Knuckle and the steering system is responsible for the movement of the front wheels in the car. It has elements that allow attachment of control arms, tie-rod ends and the spindle or hub and allows the suspension to move vertically according to road surface and horizontally during turning. Various configurations of steering knuckles exist, primarily categorized by vehicle drive types: Rear-wheel drive abbreviated as RWD and the front, all-wheel, four-wheel drive abbreviated as FWD/AWD/4WD. RWD knuckles may contain the spindle, whereas the FWD/AWD/4WD ones include a hub connected to the knuckle; some 4WD models use a hollow spindle. The fact that the steering knuckle has evolved from the kingpin design shows how versatile it is, and how crucial wheel steadiness and manageability are. Periodic check up is imperative in checking on the health of the knuckle and all other parts that are connected to it.
