Swivel bearing / steering knuckle

Hub carriers on the rear axle and swivel bearing on the front axle are responsible for carrying the wheels and crucial to driving comfort and safety. They act as mounting points for the wheel hub, brake disc, brake caliper and suspension arm. Their design differs depending on the axle concept so as to meet specific vehicle requirements. The components must be capable of bearing high wheel loads and are therefore made from strong, corrosion resistant materials such as forged aluminium or spheroidal cast iron. Their robust design ensures the vehicle’s effectiveness and safety.
