How to remove and reinstall a Steering Knuckle on Dodge Challenger?

The bushing is present on the spring link which faces the rear knuckle; this bushing is covered by a metal sleeve which has to be pulled back before the spring link is disengaged from the knuckle and this needs specific tools. Unless the assembly is dropped at a dealer service department or to a qualified repair shop, both link and knuckle are again separable using some other tools and apart from this, a new metal sleeve is required for joining both of these. To be able to dismantle the spring link and the knuckle, the sub-frame has to be lowered one side at any one time and this requires using a good floor jack, jack stands and wooden blocks. To start with, free the wheel lug nuts, lift the rear of the car and then using the frame rails jack the car up and place it on supporting stands before nuts and bolts of the wheel are removed. Subsequently, disconnect the ABS wheel speed sensor, release the harness connected with the brake backing plate, thereafter, the hub and bearing assembly. Then, take off the rear parking brake shoes and disconnect the parking brake cable from the knuckle as well. Remove the fasteners of the spring link to subframe mounting and unbolt all the links connected to the knuckle apart from the spring link before taking out the knuckle gently. Installation is done in reverse of the removal and after tightening of all the spring link nut, it is recommended that the spring link should be lifted with the help of a floor jack and brought to normal height before tightening the toe link mounting fasteners to the recommended torque using a wood block and floor jack.

Dodge Steering Knuckle ensures that the front wheels are straight and acting responsive at every turn. Dodge began as a type of tough machine shop and soon made a name in the rugged power that could hardly be tested on normal roads. In 1914, Dodge defied the norms when the first mass-produced all-steel-bodied vehicle was produced, and muscle did not have to blush in the presence of mass production. Dodge maintained the throttle position by downshifting HEMI engines into street cars and releasing the Viper program, where an average driver was able to experience the adrenaline rush of the pits on a commuter road. Now, Dodge is quarter-horse piping 600-watt Fratzonic snarl via electric drives, with Drag, Donut, Sport or whisper-quiet Stealth at the press of a switch. It is connected to the steering hub by the Steering Knuckle, which is a rigid L-shaped casting pivot on ball joints and transfers the entire vertical weight, as well as transferring each turn of the wheel into a specific directional motion. A forged-steel Steering Knuckle is immune to impact fatigue; therefore, potholes will tear tires rather than break important geometry, and its machined bores hold bearings in place to rotate quietly. Since the Steering Knuckle does the horizontal sweep and the vertical articulation, it protects the tires, braking, and maintains the alignment in the true state during years of hard launches and corners. Change a tired Steering Knuckle before the play sets in and the chassis remains tight and predictable.
