## 🔌 Function

Forms the pivoting joint in the steering linkage, transferring the steering force into the drive so the unit turns and holds its angle under load.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Vague or sloppy steering, with play felt at the wheel before the boat responds
-   Knocking or clonking from the drive when the helm is moved
-   The boat wandering off course and needing constant correction
-   Grease weeping from the joint or a torn boot letting water in
-   Bores worn oval, pins picked up or the knuckle cracked on strip-down

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   This is a steering component - any play, cracking or corrosion means renewal, not adjustment
-   Check the mating pins, bushes and boots at the same time and renew them together, then set and check the steering through its full travel before use
