ABSTRACT:
A steering knuckle for operation in the front wheel base of a motor vehicle wherein the rotational pivot point for the spindle of the steering knuckle is extended by a predetermined ball joint arm length R.sub.E, thereby increasing the arc length in radians that the spindle will move in response to a given force applied to the tie rod arm of the steering knuckle. In this manner, the time that the tire surface of a wheel is in contact with the surface of a road during the time that the vehicle is making a turn is minimized, and this in turn minimizes the tire wear for the vehicle by reducing the forces of sliding friction received by the surface of the tire during vehicle turns.
