How to service and repair the steering knuckle on Ford Expedition?

You must begin servicing or repairing the steering knuckle by removing wheel hubs combined with initial adjustment marks on both torsion bars and torsion bar crossmember supports followed by length measurement and recording. Start by using the Torsion Bar Tool along with the Torsion Bar Tool Adapters in the B slots to relieve torsion bar tension. After tightening the tool until the adjuster nut becomes free the tool can be removed together with the adjuster nut. Start by securely moving the anti-lock sensor wire by unbolt its anchor point. The first step is to discard the cotter pin to access the tie rod end castle nut followed by using a Pitman Arm Puller to disassemble the tie rod end from the front wheel knuckle. Perform the sequence starting with front suspension lower arm removal of its shock absorber lower bolt and nut followed by upper ball joint castle nut stripping which necessitates a Pitman Arm Puller to detach the front wheel knuckle from front suspension upper arm. To remove the front suspension lower arm from the front wheel knuckle you must first discard the cotter pin from the lower ball joint castle nut before using the Pitman Arm Puller. The front wheel driveshaft and joint must receive wire support to keep them safe while the front wheel knuckle is being uninstalled. Position the front wheel knuckle and secure it by installing the front suspension arm lower ball joint castle nut while using a new cotter pin for attachment. First establish the upper ball joint castle nut then proceed to install the front shock absorber lower bolt combined with its nut to the front suspension lower arm. First install the tie rod end castle nut with a new cotter pin while positioning it correctly afterward position the anti-lock sensor wire before securing it with the bracket bolt. To properly load the torsion bar operate the adjuster nut until reference marks match before installing the tool with the adapters and tightening it sufficiently to load the bar then add the adjuster components before you remove the tool.

Apply the hex-holding feature to stop stud rotation and unscrew thetie-rod end nut followed by disconnecting the tie-rod end from the wheel knuckle after you tighten the new nut to 100 Nm (74 ft. lbs.). The weight of the knuckle should be held by a suitable jack stand when the lower control arm becomes disconnected to protect the upper control arm. Disconnect the suspension lower arm from the knuckle by removing and discarding the lower ball joint-to-lower arm nut and tighten the new nut to 200 Nm (148 ft. lbs.) when installing.

Ford Steering Knuckle

If you own Ford and want to keep it in top shape, choosing OEM Steering Knuckle is a smart move. They are precisely engineered and follow strict factory standards.

FordPartsDeal.com gives you genuine Ford Steering Knuckle at some of the affordable online prices without cutting quality. Every OEM Ford part includes the manufacturer's warranty, easy returns, and super-fast delivery. So why wait? Shop now and get your vehicle back to peak condition.

Ford Steering Knuckle is applied to join wheel motion with steering input and maintain control that is tight and predictable. Since 1903, when Henry first laid down the initial assembly lines, Ford has pursued practical innovation, whether it be the EcoBoost engines that are squeezed to a drop or its SYNC system which lets owners holler at a choice of music or a map direction as opposed to tapping screens on the move and cutting assembly time to help cars arrive on the road faster. Performance and frugality can be compatible without drama, as its SYNC system demonstrates. Ford takes safety and clean energy equally seriously, equipping cars with Co-Pilot360 apparatus that clutches the brakes when there is danger and pushes the wheel back into the road, and driver battery trucks such as the F-150 Lightning to demonstrate that zero-emission torque can be as hard as gas-powered muscle. The Steering Knuckle keeps the suspension travel and steering angle fixed, and Ford casts the Steering Knuckle with seats to fit control arm, bearer, and tie-rod ends; therefore, pothole hits do not rattle the alignment. The Steering Knuckle jerks up on a bump on the wheel and immediately turns at a right angle as the driver turns so the Ford chassis can remain stable and attentive. Since each of the drivetrain designs alters the connections of spindles or hubs, the Steering Knuckle adapts between rear-drive sedans and all-wheel systems but continues its function of anchoring the wheel and allowing it to move freely. Easy replacement of worn stud bores or bushings in the part before they chew tires and burn bearings.
