A one-piece steering knuckle assembly for vehicles has a flanged body wherein the tie, rod arm, hydraulic brake caliper bracket and in some instances, the steering , arm extend from the flanged body in a one-piece forged manner. There are enlarged bosses extending from the, flanged body opposite the wheel spindle the bosses having a bore which are , axially aligned to receive a king pin. The flanged body, wheel spindle tie rod arm and brake , caliper bracket are all formed from a single steel billet as a one-piece heavy duty forging. Such a design eliminates, the brake caliper/knuckle joint and the tie rod arm/knuckle joint and thus, it results in savings, in assembly time and weight.
