Abstract
A light weight knuckle bracket for supporting a wheel hub and longitudinal and lateral control arms on a shock absorber strut of a vehicle rear suspension system. The bracket is formed from a pair of forward and aft mirror image body units stamped from sheet metal integrated with each other by mutually facing outboard and inboard planar portions welded together. Each body unit is formed with a semi-cylindrical socket portion intermediate the outboard and inboard planar portions. The mutually facing socket portions define a cylindrical pathway snugly enveloping and connecting a tubular member of the strut to the bracket providing a combined rigid structure.
