Abstract

A multi-piece steering knuckle having at least one boss which is adjustable in position along an axis of a king pin. More particularly, a steering knuckle including at least one boss having a threaded surface for threading to a mating surface of a yoke arm, the threaded surface allowing the boss to be selectively positioned along an axis of a king pin in a non-finite number of incremental positions. In another embodiment, a steering knuckle boss having an outwardly threaded surface for threading to a mating surface of a yoke arm and having, optionally, an inner wall composed of, at least in part, a nickel-aluminum bronze alloy.
