my son has a 1994 ford aspire in great shape. While driving to school, the car pulled sharply to the drivers side. He limped home with it. Took it to his high school auto shop teacher. The teacher said he needs to replace a "steering knuckle" tie rods, control arm, and that the hub was bad. I have looked online and cannot find the "steering knuckle" Is this the right name for the part? I can find the other parts. And, is the hub part of this part? Please help. Thank you. Aspire owners Mom.

Hello Thanks for the donation. The steering knuckle is the forging that usually includes the spindle and steering arm, and allows the front wheel to pivot. The knuckle is mounted between the upper and lower ball joints on a SLA suspension, and between the strut and lower ball joint on a MacPherson strut suspension (which is what your vehicle has). A couple of diagrams are below to help you better understand what it looks like..
