'07 TL Knuckle

Ever since I bought the car it was pulling left.
I went to get the alignment done and I was told that the left knuckle is bad and just alignment wouldn't solve the problem. Probably the previous owner hit a curb or something.

After looking online for parts, I found that it costs around $230 (MSRP > $300) which I think is very expensive for just a piece of metal (no bearing).

Does anyone know where I could find a cheaper one? There is some used one for about ~$110, but you never know since the car was totaled.

The part number is 51215-SEP-A11.

It's either new $230 or used.
Depending on your location, check www.car-part.com as some can be had for $40.

I might need that too, mine steers to the left but my tires could be causing it too.

My car always pulls to the left. It's so annoying that I drive in the right hand lanes on the highway.

I really wish this car didn't have such heavy steering characteristics.

The bearing is included when you buy a new knuckle

a very important piece of metal I might add.

Youcan source a used one on eBay, and just have the bearings pressed in.

Or have the piece of mind that its brand new and not bent & you also get a new bearing.

It's extremely simple to replace if your up to it.

There was a seller in Florida on a forum and had this part for $150 new a year ago (unfortunately).
