AvtoVAZ plans to mutually unify the steering knuckles for the Niva Legend and Niva Travel SUVs, according to Avtograd News. This step will reduce costs and simplify production, as the steering knuckles for both models will be unified.
According to insiders, the company will purchase new equipment, which will allow it to switch to complete self-sufficiency in steering knuckles for LADA Niva cars. This decision is also related to the desire to increase the level of production localization and reduce dependence on external suppliers.
One of the key features of the unified unit will be a non-adjustable hub bearing mechanism. This change may increase reliability and simplify vehicle maintenance, which is an important aspect for SUV owners often operating in difficult conditions.
