A steering knuckle of aluminum or an aluminum alloy for a wheel suspension on a front axle of a motor vehicle, designed as a one-piece forging which has a wheel-bearing socket (2), that is wider than it is thick, with a through hole (3) designed to accept a screw-in bearing flange. The steering knuckle has a radius arm connection bracket (20) and a carrier arm connection bracket (21), offset with respect to each other, formed on an end surface of the wheel-bearing socket (2). A web-shaped brake caliper connecting section (25) is formed on a first side of the wheel-bearing socket (2). A neck (7), which is designed as a solid section with an arc-shaped contour in the longitudinal direction, extends from the wheel-bearing socket (2). A free end surface (11) of the neck is provided with connection structures (13, 13') for transverse links, and a trackrod arm (15) projecting to the first side. The trackrod arm has an outward-tapering, rectangular central section (16) and a trackrod arm connection structure (17) at one end.
