How to Service and Repair the Steering Knuckle in the Rear Suspension on 2005 Chrysler 300?

Question

Accepted Answer

You should start by raising the vehicle, taking it off the ground, disconnecting the wheel sensor cable at the rear rotor, unscrewing the sensor head fixing the rear knuckle and then taking out the sensor itself. After removing the rear hub and bearing, get rid of the parking brake shoes and the parking brake cable lever (should you have one). After removing the shoe holder from the knuckle, take out the screw for the parking brake cable at the same location and pull the cable free. Put a utility jack or jack stand under the spring link and lock it and after that, remove the nut and bolt connecting the link to the knuckle. Guide 9361-2 makes it easier to keep the tap straight while you thread the knuckle sleeve, even as you back tap and clean out the burrs and lube the tap often. Attach Remover 9361 to the correct sleeve for your vehicle type, attach Remover Bolt 9361-3 to the sleeve in the tapped knuckle and rotate the nut to remove and discard the sleeve when you are done. Unscrew the bolts or nuts that keep the compression link, toe link, stabilizer link and tension link attached to the knuckle, then unscrew the knuckle and the hub mounting bolts. For installation, pass four hub mounting bolts through the knuckle and place the knuckle onto the vehicle, before adding the camber link, tension link, stabilizer link, toe link and compression link without securing them. Before using Special Tool 9361, apply lubrication to the threaded bolt and slip a new knuckle sleeve over Installer Bolt 9361-7, then push it with the ball joint and spring link through the empty knuckle and nut, installing both while holding the bolt head steady. Once you have tightened the spring link-to-knuckle bolt to 138 Nm, then remove your jack or stand. Route the cable between the rear knuckle, attach the mounting screw and fix it with 8 Nm torque. Be sure to fit the parking brake shoe support, actuator lever and parking brake shoes, along a new isolation washer, before installing the hub and bearing. Place the wheel speed sensor head into the wheel knuckle, hold it in place with a 11 Nm torque screw and reconnect the signal cable. Raise the car, slide the parking brake shoes back into place and place the vehicle on an alignment rack to correctly tighten the knuckle fasteners by torque values: Camber Link to 98 Nm, Compression Link to 81 Nm, Stabilizer Link to 61 Nm, Tension Link to 98 Nm and Toe Link to 81 Nm, then perform a wheel alignment.
