How to Remove and Install a Steering Knuckle on 2006 Dodge Charger?

Question

Accepted Answer

First suspend the car, then remove the rear brake rotor shield cover, unclip the wheel speed sensor at the rear of the cover and remove the screw securing the sensor head to the knuckle. Erase the rear hub and bearing and then disconnect and remove the parking brake shoes and, if possible, the actuator lever on the end of the cable. Remove the support for the shoe at the knuckle, the screw at the knuckle for the parking brake cable and then pull the cable out. With the tie rod out of the way, underside stability jack or jack stand under the spring link, lift it to touch the spring link at the shock mount and secure it where it contacts the mount. Network technicians should remove the spring link-to-knuckle nut and bolt. Along with Special Tool 9361-1, Guide 9361-2 is essential and remember to regularly clean burrs, back out the tap and oil it. Place Sleeve 4422 or 4433 onto Remover Special Tool 9361, connect Remover Bolt 9361-3 to the tapped knuckle sleeve, turn the nut until the sleeve is off and discard the old sleeve. Take out the bolts that connect the upper links to the knuckle, then get rid of all bolts on the knuckle and hub. Thread four lambo mounting bolts up through the outboard side of the knuckle, fit the knuckle in place on the car, align the camber and tension links, follow with the stabilizer and toe links and lastly, the compression link, without tightening the bolts. Should you not be using a new knuckle sleeve, slide it over Installer Bolt 9361-7 and push it through the ball joint, insert the thrust bearing and nut and rotate the nut until the sleeve can't spin any further. Squeeze the spring link-to-knuckle bolt to 138 Nm (102 ft. lbs.) torque after that, add the parking brake cable, shoe support and make sure the shoes are in place. It is important to have the isolation washer on the half shaft before installing the hub and bearing. Attach the wheel speed sensor head to the knuckle, hold in place with a screw and tighten to 11 Nm or 97 inch lbs. torque. Fit the sensor cable again, lift the vehicle back up, press the parking brake shoes, tighten the bolts at the knuckle to the correct torque for each link and carry out a wheel alignment.
