How to Ensure Proper Maintenance of the Steering Knuckle on a Ford Thunderbird?

Steering knuckle servicing or repairs start with uninstalling both the wheel bearing and hub assembly. First apply the hex holding feature to stop the stud turning before removing the nut then take off the tie-rod end from the wheel knuckle and throw out the nut. You need to suspend the knuckle weight by using a jack stand after taking off the lower control arm. You can use the hex holding feature to stop the stud from rotating as you remove the nut because the process will keep the tapered ball joint washer secure. Remove the suspension lower arm from the knuckle before discarding the nut. A jack stand should sustain the knuckle weight during removal to protect against upper control arm damage. The upper and lower arm-to-knuckle nuts need replacement as they have a torque prevailing structure. First put the tapered washer onto the ball joints and then install the upper and lower control arms onto the knuckle. The installation process should be completed by following all removal steps in reverse order while tightening parts to specified torque specs.
