Abstract

A steering knuckle assembly for a steering apparatus in a motor vehicle has an attachable and separable connector for ball joint connection between a tie rod and a knuckle. Therefore, the tie rod can be more easily separated from the knuckle at improved work efficiency, and the entire knuckle assembly does not have to be newly developed to change a ball joint point of the end of the tie rod. As a result, manufacture cost is greatly reduced and work efficiency for the steering knuckle assembly is improved.
