Baxzl Steering Knuckle Right Front for Subaru 2005–2014 — Direct-Fit, Heavy-Duty

This heavy-duty steering knuckle is designed to match the factory mounting points and dimensions for specified Subaru Impreza, Legacy, Outback, Forester, WRX, WRX STI, and XV Crosstrek model years. Machined surfaces and reinforced mounting eyes provide a solid interface for wheel hubs, ball joints, and control arms. The part replaces OE numbers such as 28313AG020 and 28313AG000 and is intended for technicians and DIYers who need a reliable, like-for-like knuckle without modifying suspension geometry.

What vehicles and engines is this knuckle compatible with?

This knuckle covers a wide range of Subaru platforms and engine types across several model years. Compatibility depends on year, model, and drivetrain configuration, so verify your VIN or existing part number before purchase.

• Impreza: 2008–2014, 2.0L and 2.5L H4 engines
• Legacy: 2005–2014, 2.0L/2.5L H4 and 3.0L/3.6L H6 engines
• Outback: 2005–2014, 2.5L/3.0L/3.6L H4 and H6 engines
• Forester: 2009–2014, 2.5L H4 engines; WRX/WRX STI/XV Crosstrek model coverage as listed

How does this knuckle affect steering and wheel alignment?

The knuckle locates the hub and controls the upright-to-control-arm geometry, so a correct, undamaged knuckle is essential for predictable steering and stable alignment. Installing a properly dimensioned replacement restores factory camber, caster, and toe settings when followed by a professional alignment.

• Direct-fit geometry prevents unintended camber or toe changes
• Precision machined hub bore for proper wheel bearing seating
• OEM-style mounting bosses for ball joints and brake components

Is this part ready to install or does it need extra preparation?

The part is supplied as a replacement knuckle ready for installation, but typical service steps are required during fitment. Bearings, seals, ball joints, and fasteners are usually reused only if in good condition; many installers replace those components while the knuckle is removed.

• Check and replace wheel bearings, hub, or studs as needed
• Inspect and replace ball joints, seals, and fasteners for safety
• Torque fasteners to manufacturer specifications and perform alignment

How durable is this knuckle and what materials or finishes are used?

Baxzl knuckles are manufactured to withstand road and load stresses typical for passenger and light-duty performance Subarus. The casting and machining process emphasizes strength at mounting points and bearing seats to resist wear and maintain alignment under normal driving conditions.

• Reinforced casting at control-arm and strut mounting locations
• Precision-machined bearing bore for even load distribution
• Finish treated to resist corrosion and extend service life

Who is this for: This Baxzl right-side front steering knuckle is intended for owners, mechanics, and restoration specialists working on compatible Subaru Impreza, Legacy, Outback, Forester, WRX, WRX STI, and XV Crosstrek models from the listed years. Choose this part when an original knuckle is bent, cracked, or worn, or when replacing damaged suspension components after a collision. Confirm fit with your vehicle VIN, existing OE part number (e.g., 28313AG020 / 28313AG000), or professional parts lookup before ordering to ensure exact compatibility.
