Product Details

The steering knuckle is a critical suspension and steering component that connects the wheel-end assembly to the rest of the chassis hardware. On compatible Ford Explorer and Ford Police Interceptor Utility models, SKMEF23 provides the mounting interface needed to restore proper wheel-end alignment and steering geometry after collision damage, corrosion, or component wear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Repair Uses

• Replacing a cracked or bent knuckle after impact damage
• Correcting steering or alignment issues caused by worn wheel-end components
• Restoring proper suspension mounting points during front-end repair
• Addressing noise or instability linked to damaged steering hardware

Installation Notes

Verify fitment by year, make, model, and front left position before installation. Compare the original knuckle and related mounting points to confirm compatibility with the vehicle’s steering and suspension layout. Professional installation and a post-repair alignment are recommended after replacement.
