For 2012 and earlier models, the steering knuckle removal and installation procedure is part of the strut removal procedure. For 2013 and later models, the removal process involves loosening the wheel lug nuts, raising the vehicle and removing the wheel. The driveaxle/hub nut is then removed, followed by separating the tie rod from the steering knuckle. The brake disc and ABS wheel speed sensor are removed, and the lower arm is separated from the steering knuckle. The driveaxle is then separated from the hub, and the strut-to-steering knuckle bolts are removed to separate the knuckle from the strut. To install, the steering knuckle and hub assembly are guided into position, with the driveaxle inserted into the hub. The strut-to-knuckle bolts and nuts are tightened, and the balljoint and tie-rod end are connected and tightened. The wheel speed sensor and harness bracket are installed, followed by the brake disc and caliper/mounting bracket assembly. The driveaxle is seated using the old driveaxle/hub nut and washer, which is then replaced with a new nut and tightened to the specified torque. The wheel is installed, the vehicle is lowered, and the lug nuts are tightened. Finally, the front-end alignment is checked and adjusted if necessary.

Raise the jack until the distance between the center of the hub and the lip of the fender is the same.
