Front Left or Right Steering Knuckle Assembly for 2005-2014 Subaru Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, WRX & XV Crosstrek

Front Steering Knuckle Assembly for Select Subaru Applications

Front-position steering knuckle assembly for the listed Subaru Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, WRX, and XV Crosstrek model-year ranges. The source names both driver and passenger positions.

Critical fitment warning: The source does not specify engine, transmission, turbo versus non-turbo, trim, brake package, wheel-bearing type, hub spline, ABS configuration, production date, side-specific reference mapping, or package quantity. It also does not confirm whether the wheel hub, bearing, ABS sensor, dust shield, or mounting hardware is included. Confirm the VIN, exact model and year, intended front side, original knuckle casting and reference, strut and ball-joint mounting points, tie-rod location, caliper bracket spacing, hub/bearing dimensions, axle spline, and ABS configuration before ordering.

Vehicle Compatibility

• 2009–2014 Subaru Forester — front driver or passenger position
• 2008–2014 Subaru Impreza — front driver or passenger position
• 2005–2014 Subaru Legacy — front driver or passenger position
• 2005–2014 Subaru Outback — front driver or passenger position
• 2012–2014 Subaru WRX — front driver or passenger position
• 2013–2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek — front driver or passenger position

Not confirmed: STI applications, specific turbo or non-turbo configurations, brake packages, production-date splits, model years outside these ranges, or any knuckle whose side and mounting geometry do not match the original.

Reference Information

No formal OE or replacement reference numbers are provided in the source description. The SKU contains two number-like entries, but the SKU is an inventory identifier and is not treated as proof of a left/right pair, side assignment, package quantity, or OE interchange.

Package Contents

The source confirms a steering knuckle assembly but does not define the included subcomponents. Wheel hub, wheel bearing, snap ring, axle nut, ABS sensor, wiring, dust shield, ball joint, tie-rod end, caliper bracket, and mounting hardware are not confirmed as included. Review the product images and received package before disassembly.

Installation Notes

Steering-knuckle service affects steering, braking, wheel retention, suspension geometry, and ABS operation and should be performed by a qualified technician. Compare the replacement with the original before installation, including front side, casting, strut mounting, ball-joint taper or pinch arrangement, tie-rod location, caliper mounting, hub and bearing bore, axle opening, dust-shield holes, and ABS sensor routing.

Inspect the wheel hub and bearing, axle splines, ball joint, tie-rod end, strut, brake rotor and caliper, ABS sensor and wiring, and all fasteners. Follow Subaru procedures for bearing or hub transfer, fastener replacement, tightening sequence, and torque values. Do not apply force through bearing rolling elements during pressing. After installation, perform a wheel alignment and verify smooth rotation, secure wheel mounting, normal steering and braking, and no ABS or stability-control warning lights before road use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are both front sides included?
The source names driver and passenger positions but does not state package quantity. A pair is therefore not claimed.

Does the assembly include the wheel hub and bearing?
Hub and bearing inclusion is not confirmed. Check the product images and package contents.

Will this fit a Subaru STI?
STI fitment is not provided and should not be assumed. Verify VIN, brakes, hub/bearing dimensions, axle spline, and mounting geometry.

Is an alignment required after installation?
A professional wheel alignment is recommended after steering-knuckle removal and installation.
