Kia Optima Steering Knuckle provides stable wheel rotation and precise turning while connecting the suspension arms, tie rods, and wheel hub in a single rugged hub-like casting. Located at the juncture of the vertical movement of suspension and the horizontal movement of steering, this part allows the wheels to move up over bumps while the wheels pivot freely based on driver input. Through the years, the Kia Optima utilized two basic layouts, one configuration with integral spindle for rear-drive style configurations and another hub-type configuration tailored for front-drive configurations common to the Optima line, the difference being the spindle style carries the rotor on a shaft while the hub style accepts a pressed or bolted bearing assembly which the drive axle passes through. Both forms of Steering Knuckle provide support for ball joints instead of vintage kingpins and reduce play and weight. Although built to last, collision impact or distorted stud tapers will still lead to Steering Knuckle replacement, and owners can and should inspect bores and threads every time joints come off to ensure that their Kia steering remains crisp and safe. Regular inspections of the Steering Knuckle on any Kia Optima will ensure that the alignment is true, whereas a bent Steering Knuckle will cause the wheels to be dragged out of alignment in no time.
