The front right steering knuckle on a Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ (1999-2004) serves several critical purposes in the vehicle's steering system:
- Connects Suspension and Steering (

,steering linkage
): It acts as a crucial link between the suspension system and the steering linkage. It attaches to the lower control arm on the suspension side and connects to the tie rod on the steering side. This allows steering wheel inputs to translate into movements of the front right wheel. - Supports Wheel Assembly (
wheel hub assembly
): The steering knuckle serves as a mounting point for the right wheel hub assembly. The hub houses the wheel bearings and allows the wheel to rotate freely. The knuckle provides a strong and stable foundation for the entire right wheel assembly. - Provides Pivot Point for Steering (
pivot point
): The steering knuckle incorporates a pivot point that allows the right front wheel to turn. When you turn the steering wheel, the tie rod transmits this force to the right steering knuckle, causing it to pivot and turn the wheel in the corresponding direction. - Houses Steering Components (if applicable): In some Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ models, the right steering knuckle may also house additional steering components like the ball joint or the tie rod end. These components facilitate smooth and precise steering by allowing for controlled movement of the knuckle and the connected wheel.
In essence, both the front left and right steering knuckles (frontLeftSteeringKnuckle
, frontRightSteeringKnuckle
) are vital components in the Jeep Grand Cherokee WJ's steering system. They work together to ensure a strong connection between the suspension and steering, support the wheel assemblies, provide pivot points for turning, and may house essential steering components. A well-maintained steering knuckle on both sides is crucial for safe and predictable handling on the road.
