Made from aluminium alloy it
is connected to the bodyshell via flexible bushes.It supports the track control arm, the camber
control rod, the toe in control rod and the anti-roll bar.It is the component where the main forces
exchanged between the wheels and the road are discharged. For this
reason its shape has been designed optimizing the distribution of
the material in order to satisfy the requirements of lightness and resistance.
STEERING KNUCKLE
It is made from spheroid cast
iron and is the most stressed component.In effect, through the wheel bearing, the
brake caliper, the spring/shock absorber assembly mounting, the
anti-roll bar mounting, in addition to the mountings for all the
arms, it acts as a true collector - distributor of all the forces
acting on the suspension.
