Repair the front suspension of your monster truck with this genuine Front Steering Knuckle Set. These are the main "spindles" (Steering Blocks) that hold the front axles and bearings, allowing your wheels to turn left and right.
Molded from Redcat's durable composite plastic, these knuckles are designed to flex slightly under the massive impact of a 6S landing, saving your expensive aluminum suspension mounts from damage. This set also includes the matching 17mm Wheel Hexes, ensuring a perfect fit for your wheels.
Key Features
-
Composite Construction: Made from tough, impact-resistant black plastic.
-
Factory Geometry: Identical to the stock parts included in the RTR kit, ensuring your steering angles and camber settings remain correct.
-
Includes Hexes: Unlike many knuckle sets that are just the spindles, this pack includes two fresh 17mm Wheel Hexes (plastic type) to replace stripped out wheel adapters.

Installation Advice
Check Your C-Hubs: The Steering Knuckle sits inside the C-Hub (Caster Block).
-
The Impact: If you hit something hard enough to break this knuckle, there is a very high chance you also cracked the C-Hub (RER14962) that holds it. Inspect the C-Hub screw holes carefully for stress marks.
-
Bearing Swap: You will need to transfer your ball bearings from the old broken knuckle to this new one.
-
Tip: If the bearings feel "gritty" or rusty, do not put them into the new knuckle. A seized bearing will melt the plastic housing of your new part in minutes.
-
-
Kingpin Screws: These knuckles pivot on screws or bushed pins. Ensure these screws are snug but not overtightened, or the steering will bind.
