ABSTRACT:
An improved method for manufacturing a steering knuckle and spindle unit for a heavy duty vehicle, such as a truck, including forming the spindle, separately forming the knuckle, and finally welding the knuckle and spindle together to form an integral unit. The spindle is a hollow elongated metal tube preferably cold formed. The knuckle is formed by forging and a bore is machined or pierced in the knuckle to be aligned with the hollow portion of the spindle. The knuckle and spindle are then welded together such as by spin or inertia or electron beam welding to form an integral unit.
